In 2018, an estimated 1 in 9 Americans were food insecure, equating to over 37 million Americans, including more than 11 million children.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. It is important to know that though hunger and food insecurity are closely related, they are distinct concepts. Hunger refers to a personal, physical sensation of discomfort, while food insecurity refers to a lack of available financial resources for food at the household level.
Extensive research reveals food insecurity is a complex problem. Many people do not have the resources to meet their basic needs, challenges which increase a family’s risk of food insecurity. Though food insecurity is closely related to poverty, not all people living below the poverty line experience food insecurity and people living above the poverty line can experience food insecurity.
How many people die of hunger every day? The FAO estimates that as many as 25,000 people lose their lives every day as a result of hunger. That adds up to roughly 9.1 million people who die of starvation each year.
One in three Americans, 33%, say they or someone in their household has lost their job or been furloughed due to the coronavirus crisis via new Quinnipiac poll.That climbs to nearly half of Hispanics, 48%, those making under $30k/yr, 48%, and voters under 35 years old, 49%.
Did you know that the Clinton impeachment involved the Russians? Of course.Linda Tripp, recently deceased, disclosed the tapes of Lewinsky…to FARA agent for Russia/Mob Victoria Toensing…hired by Rudy Giuliani and paid by Dmitry Firtash.
Try your local charitable Food Pantry. Don’t waste your meagre resources on non-essentials. But most of all find a good, cheap (if those are not mutually exclusive) plastic surgeon.

Far too many people are food insecure. In the worlds, it’s a tragedy. In this nation, it’s inexcusable.
