Food insecurity is a real thing

[Darkwind]

Poor people generally would be insulted at the suggestion that this would be what they are expected to eat. They would take it personally. As an insult. Increase their food budget and they will buy more junk. Take food insecurity as a good thing. Chronic food insecurity is all that separates obesity from morbid obesity.

Are you serious?

Poor people, living off the largesse of the taxpayer, can shut the **** up.

Their very lives depend upon the government giving them sustenance.


When you take, you live by the strings others apply to you.

I don't really pay that much attention to 4-year-olds having a tantrum.

It isn't about control.

I'm not discounting the donating, but what food insecurity people usually demand is government forced supply, while not forcing the recipients to demand said supply, rather sticking to what they want to buy.

Then again, there is the culture of deserving.

Food insecurity. It exists. It hurts people from all walks of life.

Those who deny it lack empathy and should be excluded from your family, your church, your social organizations, your schools. Caveat: do feed their children if they suffer this insecurity. In fact, their children should be removed from parental control.

Yes, “food insecurity” is a real and well-defined concept used by governments, researchers, and humanitarian organizations worldwide.

Definition

According to the Oxford Dictionary:

Food insecurity is “the condition of not having access to sufficient food, or food of an adequate quality, to meet one's basic needs.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines it as:

“A household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food.”

Level	Description
High food security	No problems or limitations in accessing food
Marginal food security	Occasional anxiety about food sufficiency
Low food security	Reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet
Very low food security	Disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake

Global Impact

• Over 2.4 billion people worldwide experience moderate or severe food insecurity
• 
  
• In the U.S., millions of households face food insecurity annually due to poverty, unemployment, and systemic barriers

Why It Matters

Food insecurity affects:

• Physical health: Malnutrition, chronic diseases
• Mental health: Anxiety, depression
• Child development: Learning difficulties, stunted growth
• Economic productivity: Reduced work and school performance

So yes, it’s not just a buzzword—it’s a measurable and impactful condition that shapes lives and policy decisions globally.

Unless you’re in a position like a child or disable person being neglected by the people supplying you food, no one in America is at risk of going hungry

You are nonsensical.

 

[braalian]

You are nonsensical.

People in America have access to food and the food is cheap

And if they can’t/won’t work, adequate food is provided

Do you mean like a thing where some rural or inner city communities lack access to supermarkets? That’s a real thing, but no one is “going hungry” in the literal sense

Food is not cheap.

A lot of families live in food deserts.

Go away.

Maybe the blacks should follow the example of the poor, uneducated Jews who immigrated to NY from Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They set up little food businesses - a produce place, a fish market, a butcher, even little bodega type places where they sold soap and toilet paper and the like - and were pretty self-sufficent within their own communities.

(And it was harder back then because there were no food stamps.)

 

[the watcher]

Ah, that may not solve the problem.

 

[the watcher]

All those mostly peaceful protests and that stealing?


Suck it up buttercup.

Food insecurity is a real thing​

Unfortunately, so is a flawed sense of entitlement and total lack of self-reliance, with a big dose of denial.

Look what Horsey Horse has submitted .
A Classic .

Amazing perception for a Horse .
Carry on like that and you will soon be chatting with adult humans .
It never dawned on us that having no food is restricting.
Worth a Nobel Chemistry and Physics Prize combined

This country now has a big portion of its population convinced that the sugar daddy government should not only provide all their needs and wants to them but to apologize for not giving them more. The remaining population that is increasingly being forced to provide this give away is being taxed more to support this never-ending payout. A growing segment of the youth no longer feels any obligation to obey laws, and consider theft and assault a career path, and the courts do not disagree. The state-controlled media is feeding us misinformation and propaganda on a daily basis, and the threat of martial law is hanging over every aspect of life, as is the rumor of another war. How fukked up can a country be and still exist? Starving snap users here? Much like the 300 pounders that "walked" through Mexico to escape hunger, we willingly accept anything here.
