Summary: Part A:Nearly nine million older adults are food insecure and are faced with making decisions such as purchasing nutritional food or prescriptions. Lisa Marsh Ryerson, President of AARP Foundation and Jim Lutzweiler, Vice President of Hunger Impact Programs discuss the steps the organization is taking to feed those who are hungry now, while also developing long-term, sustainable solutions that address the root causes of hunger among those 50 and older.Part B:Flu and aging are related because the older you are, the greater is the potential danger from getting the flu. So much more dangerous, in fact, scientists have invented a stronger dose of the flu vaccine for older citizens. And in Judith Light’s case, aging is an issue because she recently turned 65 and that fact is the feature in a new Flu + You campaign. Judith Light has a lot of experience as a serious actress, winning two consecutive Tony Awards for her work in Other Desert Cities and in The Assembled Parties.
