I'm sorry, I do not believe this. 48% of them go hungry?

Montclair State University's food pantry is tucked away down a maze of hallways in the student center. Like the hunger problem on campus itself, the pantry is not quite out in the open.
It opened on the New Jersey college's campus in April, after administrators started hearing from students who said they were hungry and didn't have enough money for food. They surveyed students, finding that more than half said they or someone they know experiences "food insecurity" -- the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food.
On one Thursday in December, 33 students visited the food pantry, taking what they need to help make ends meet. They left with bread, cereal, milk, spaghetti, canned vegetables, as well as personal items like shampoo and soap.

Sounds like they need to find jobs, and not try to live off of only what money they get from their parents

I guess they all want free food from the gubment now. Maybe if they want to eat they should get a job.

bullshite. College students could all be millionaires and they would still eat at Taco Bell.

This is total BS. The left is making a mockery of what it means to "go hungry."

I'm sure they use the same criteria they use when they claim widespread American hunger.
Which is to say yes, it's a bald faced lie

This is what we call fake news, Virginia.

Now, are they taking advantage of free shite at the food pantry? Yes.
Would they be going hungry if it wasn't there? Absolutely not.

Sensationalism or there are way too many people in college that should not be.

Buckle your seatbelt. The MSM will promote poor unfortunates and mean American stories for the next 4 years. There will be a new homeless epidemic, old people will have to eat dog food, the poor college kids can't afford food, what will happen when the poor loose their free Obama care, etc.. Happens every time a Republican takes the oath of office since Reagan.

Food fights are fun until someone starves because of them.

Nutritious being the key word in the definition. The kids have access to food, just not the food they want. This is what happens to entitled kids. Anyone who has raised teenagers has experienced the following exchange:
Kid: I'm starving, but we don't have anything to eat.
Adult: We have leftover spaghetti, ham & cheese and peanut butter & jelly for sandwiches.
Kid: I don't want any of that
Adult: Well you must not be starving.
quote:We have working college students, who go to school on taxpayer dollars and now we are supposed to feed them also?
The study found that 56% of food insecure students were currently employed, more than half received a federal grant

That's because most kids don't know how to manage money. Part of growing up and going off to school away from Mommy and Daddy is learning to take care of yourself and to manage your business. I paid for my own school and expenses. I ran out of food every now and then, but was never hungry. A jar of peanut butter goes a long ways.
All three of my kids are in college now at once. By design, I give them slightly less than what I think it should take them to get by every month for expenses. They started off spending $20 a meal at Buffalo Wild Wings and would be broke two weeks into the month. For a while, they all started losing weight, then miraculously they got part time jobs. Suddenly they had money and their grades even went up.
