This weekend, the entire issue of The New York Times Magazine is devoted to the topic of families and food insecurity, the lack of consistent access to healthy meals that affects millions in America. The issue features 18 images by the photographer Brenda Ann Kenneally, who, in the spirit of Dorothea Lange’s Dust Bowl journeys, took a 92-day trip from New York to California in a camper to document those who were struggling. The pictures are part of a collaboration between the magazine and the National desk that includes an online multimedia package.
