"food insecurity" -- the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food.
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.

On the weekends I used to live off the $0.29 boxes of mac & cheese.

That stat is wrong, just like their stupid claims about campus rape culture

Ryan Morse weighed just seven pounds in November 2015 (left), when his adoptive family brought him back to the U.S. from a Bulgarian orphanage. Today, the eight-year-old boy weighs 23 pounds and is starting to babble (pictured right in November 2016)

That's what I am saying. Just about everyone goes out on occasion. I see guys all the time throwing a $50-100 tab at the bar. To suggest nearly half are hungry...come on. You can go to Little Caesars everyday, buy a large pizza, and have enough food to last the day for $5.

Beer>food.
I lived off a steady diet of chef boyardee and bud light.

But it appears as if 48% of them can afford smokes

Maybe if they didn't have to spend so much on tuition and books they would have enough money for food and beer.

Every time I visit a college campus, I see plenty of fat arse students walking around... I would venture a bet that obesity is more of a problem on college campuses than hunger ever will be...
Part of the problem though is many kids have absolutely no idea how to prepare a meal, think eating out is "cheap" and "healthy", and are lazy as frick...

Just because you can't afford to blow $200/ week to buy free range organic non gluten kambucha infused groceries at Whole Foods doesn't mean you are starving. Part of the college experience is having to eat with the $5.72 left in your bank account for a few days. It helps you learn to budget and appreciate what you have later in life when you get a better job.

Bread+vegetable oil+salt= toast. Spent many end o month days eating that just to save my last ten bucks for beer.

No access to nutritious food? Must be the key there because everyone can afford ramen noodles.
Sometimes I suffer from steak insecurity.

I remember eating ramen noodles so I could afford to go out, but it didn't have anything to do with tuition or student loans.
