Children worry their families can't afford food after Trump's SNAP cuts: In Texas, a 6-year-old stood in front of her family's refrigerator, hoping food would magically appear. In Delaware, an 11-year-old wondered why her family could no longer afford Cinnamon Toast Crunch. In New Jersey, four siblings wanted their mother to buy groceries — but she had to tell them she couldn't. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sna…
