about 18 million families — or 13.5% of U.S. households — struggled to access enough food, marking the highest levels of food insecurity in nearly a decade and over 380,000 families experienced days where children were hungry.

“Many of these programs, which temporarily boosted SNAP benefits, allowed for the implementation of universal free school meals and expanded the Child Tax Credit, were a lifeline for families.
However, (far right extremists republikans made sure that ) many of those same programs expired or were rolled back, leaving households who had participated in them struggling to make ends meet.

This is reflected in the data in the USDA’s new report, which shows that 47.4 million people lived in households experiencing food insecurity last year, an increase of 3.2 million compared to 2022, and 13.5 million compared to 2021.

          proposals to cut SNAP benefits—like the $30 billion reduction over the next decade currently under consideration—
          would only worsen the problem.

single-parent households, households headed by women, and those in rural and urban regions of the U.S. — as opposed to the suburbs — experienced disproportionately high rates of food insecurity.”
