Last night we went to Martha’s Table on 14th Street for dinner and a discussion about food and hunger in DC.
We ate a terrific dinner of salmon and risotto prepared by the Martha’s Table kitchen team and had a fascinating talk with award-winning cookbook author and the brains behind Sips & Suppers Joan Nathan, the night’s emcee Face the Nation’s Bob Schieffer, Board chair Cathy Sulzberger, and CEO Patty Stonesifer. We learned that 30% of DC kids are food-insecure and 40% are overweight or obese because of poor nutrition. Martha’s Table is fixing this, working with 18,000 DC families and providing 600,000 healthy meals.
