Colleen Heflin and Madonna Harrington-Meyer Dive Into Senior Food Insecurity
Episode 159
Saturday, 3 October, 2026
Dr. Phil Knight and Jerry Brisson introduce a broader view of hunger among older populations by challenging traditional assumptions about food access. When Colleen Heflin and Madonna Harrington-Meyer discuss their book, they reveal that food scarcity is frequently the result of difficult budget trade-offs caused by high housing and utility expenses. Because older adults prioritize keeping a roof over their heads, food often becomes the most expendable budget item. Furthermore, Madonna Harrington-Meyer shares qualitative interviews showing that seniors routinely skip meals or sacrifice nutrition to pay bills or support family members, proving that food insecurity is a deeply social issue rather than just a private struggle.
