A Massachusetts advocate is taking a stand against proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The advocate, whose method of protest is fasting, is consuming a limited diet to raise awareness about food insecurity.

This limited diet consists of water, electrolytes, and glucose pills. The goal of this protest is to draw attention to the rising issue of food insecurity resulting from cuts to the program.

Further details about the advocate's protest and the proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are available from the Waco Tribune-Herald.
