Approximately 13 million kids, or one in 5, live in food insecure households in the US

This statement is often stated by "no child hungry" and "feed america" ngos or programs run by ngos, whose best interest it is to push this agenda for funding.
Well where do these numbers come from? The Agriculture department administers SNAP and they do the survey. With who......people who are already getting SNAP benefits.
Now I ask you, if your boss comes to you and says "are you making enough money or do you sometimes forgo spending money because I havent paid you enough". What would you say?
Well how about asking, did your child miss a meal this past week? Was it because you did not have enough in the house? How many times did your family finish the milk or bread and not tell you? Do you skip meals, heck I dont normally eat lunch, does that classify as going hungry? Isnt everyone hungry, isnt that why we eat?
Just another lie, damn lie, and worst of all statistic Mark Twain.

And it doesn't matter how much money or "benefits" you throw at these households, their situation will not improve because the households mismanage and/or sell their benefits...

Yea, i don't believe people are going hungry. We are the fattest country, and the lower income population is definitely the fattest group. Instead of buying rice, meat, and vegetables with their free government money they are buying meat, sodas, and chips.

The people that go without eating are from families that choose to ignore their children or homeless people. No parents that are willing participants in a family life are going to let their kids go hungry. There is way to many programs, people willing to help

I see a whole lot of fat little bastards.
And the poorest tend to be the fattest, at least in the cities.

Yeah I don't believe any of that.

I bet a lot of those house holds have people that smoke, with thousands of dollars worth of tattoos, checking their snap benefits on thousand dollar phones.

Are these households where they eat food because they feel insecure?
Posted on 7/1/25 at 9:36 am to trinidadtiger
I imagine a good many of these food insecure are lazy parents who don't grocery shop and live off big breakfasts from mcd's and four for four from wendy's.
Hungry children of shitty parents are hard to help- nothing you give the parents is guaranteed to trickle down to improve a child's nutrition.

How is this possible withe the Democrats in charge the last 4 years.
Unless they cared more about immigrants than Americans.
Just think - Some illegal laying up in a $575.00 a night hotel eating three meals a day while your own people starve

We can't have an obesity crisis AND a starvation epidemic at the same time.

Exactly. Eating healthy is not expensive. You can buy cabbage, carrots, pork, rice, onions and make a complete meal in 20 minutes, and it will cost less per portion than microwavable dogshit.
Pasta is another very cheap, 15 minute meal to make. Buy store brand and you can make 4 meal sized portions for a little over $5 bucks. Or tacos, another 15 minute cheap meal.
shite, homemade jambalaya takes a little longer to make but the ingredients aren't expensive at all.
Actual food is very cheap in this country. What starts to add up is the beverages, snacks and deserts.

And here is the crux of the problem...

I don’t believe that. There are maybe one in five who don’t take care of their kids but there are not one in five that starving because they don’t have the means with all the government programs available. Only in America are poor people obese.

100% this.
If people who receive food stamps spent that money buying things like their great grandmothers cooked they would always have something to eat.
Is it WHAT they want to eat? Maybe not but there are foods that can be prepared at home and stay in budget.
When I was in college and had no money my diet consisted was usually egg sandwiches for breakfast. Eggs were cheap then and I bought day old bread from Hardins bakery near my apartment. Lunches were "poverty dogs". These were 36 count cheap hotdogs and a loaf of white bread. I also ate a lot of peanut sandwiches (no jelly). Dinner was usually white rice, beans of some type, usually black, and whatever meat was on sale at the grocery. I could make a 6 pack of chicken thighs last a week.
But when people spend all their money on preprocessed crap it wont go as far.

If this is true, it's a direct result of the actions and decisions of the generation before them, which are a direct result of how they were raised.

The what they want to eat part is what I dont get. You can make almost anything at home with a little effort and it will taste good. You dont need to be some super chef, you just need to be able to read a recipe. Thanks to the internet, there are infinite easy recipes to follow. The meal kit companies like hello fresh even list out all their recipes for free.

big breakfasts from mcd's
The sausage egg mcmuffin and the egg mcmuffin taste good, I will give McDs that, they load those frickers up with salt and butter
I let myself have one of their breakfast sandwiches on roadtrips I dont get why people love their hashbrowns so much though. You can buy a whole pack at a grocery store for the cost of 1 at McDs, tastes about the same but has a whole lot less grease.
