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

CA has spent 24 billion on homelessness in the last 5 years. It’s built a lot of big arse homes for the people running the NGO programs. Despite spending all that money homelessness increased. I don’t want to hear about food insecurity. The government would run the desert out of sand.

In 30 seconds I can show them how to use a refrigerator and a pantry to secure that food.

Look at what happened to the $500 grand raised by Karmelo Anthony. Now he wants Texas taxpayers to fund his defense.

Speaking of deserts, how did they omit the phrase food desert?
I looked up the definition, and it's been refined:
If a urban sob can't walk a mile to buy or pay otherwise for food, is the next step, cars for everybody?

Of this number, 19 million people live in "food deserts", which they define as low-income census tracts that are more than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a supermarket in rural areas.

Food in my house is quite secure.....

I would rather pay for the schools to offer students free breakfast and lunch every day all year long than SNAP.
I made a blue collar career change in my late twenties and until I became a journeyman electrician I made helpers pay… If it wasn’t for $1 whoppers back then I would have had a tough time.
I leaned on family to make ends meat and help with the step children’s needs but when I started getting up in the good pay I paid everyone back and then some to make my name good again before I ever spent a dime on myself.
No SNAP, No EBT, No Guv handouts.

Too busy out protesting and looting shoe stores.

And the vast majority of those 13 million live in households that have the furthest thing from nail and weave insecurity.

Food deserts are bullshite too.
No one that lives in Baton Rouge is in a food desert.
Now if you live rural, you probably do.

Yea, it's really sad how brainwashed and pathetic so many people are. Life's not fair. Help yourself before asking for help.

I did a deep-dive into this in 2013 (luckily, saved the files - I didn't find anything like this on their site today). I underlined some sections, but basically, if anyone in your household felt that they risked being hungry, or 'faced the threat of hunger', they qualify as 'food insecure'. Or, if you were strapped for cash, wondered if you should buy cigarettes or food, and you bought food - you (and your whole household) qualifies as 'food insecure'. It's rubbish.

What does “food insecure” mean?
Food insecurity is the most broadly used measure of food deprivation in the United States. The USDA defines food insecurity as meaning “consistent access to adequate food is limited by a lack of money and other resources at times during the year.”
Acceptable shorthand terms for food insecurity are “hungry, or at risk of hunger,” and “hungry, or faced the threat of hunger.” Food insecurity can also accurately be described as “a financial juggling act, where sometimes the food ball gets dropped.”
What does “food insecure” NOT mean?
Food insecurity is not “the government’s definition of hunger.” It is a broader term that captures outright hunger and the coping mechanisms that households use to avoid hunger.
Food insecurity is a household situation, not an individual situation. While food insecurity affects everyone in a household, it may affect them differently. Therefore it is not correct to state that specific individuals in a food insecure household (such as children) definitely experience outright hunger or specific coping mechanisms. Rather than describing these individuals as being “food insecure”, they should be referred to as “living in a food insecure home.”
Food insecurity is a year long measure. Therefore, it is not correct to assert that every food insecure household is experiencing food insecurity “right now,” will experience hunger “tonight” or “does not know where their next meal is coming from.” Research shows that food insecurity tends to be episodic and often cyclical.
Food insecurity does not mean that a household lacks access to grocery stores, lives in a “food desert,” or does not have time to shop/cook. It only refers to lack of food access based on financial and other material resources.

This is true but in a lot of cases it actually cheaper to eat crap then foods that are good for you.
This is almost never true. The very cheapest things in any grocery store are the whole foods.

Food is expensive. $183 isn't buying much.

Every Dollar General and Walmart is filled with the fastest people you'll ever see, no food insecurity amongst the poor.
