Food insecurity is a real thing

[Mashmont]

I've paid mortgages, medical bills, utilities, rents, funeral expenses, wheelchairs, furniture, clothing, food, auto repairs, you name it. With a wide donor base of very well-off donors.

Still not enough.

We have to take the plunge of cutting government off to find out that charity would work just the way I laid out.

No, we don't. We need to confiscate your worldly goods and send you to the Island of Misfit Conservatives.

Dude. That's being just as much a dick as those who deny food insecurity.

Offer a solution to the problem. Because nothing is working so far.

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.

BrokeBoozer wants us to think he is going without.

Maybe it would be better if we just went back to food banks entirely, eliminating food stamps, and using the money to purchase and provide free-of-charge the following items:

• milk, juice, eggs, cheese, low-sugar cereal, and bread
• tuna, PB & J, spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, sliced turkey
• fish, chicken, lean ground beef
• frozen bags of veggies
• condiments like mustard, ketchup, mayo
• bags of fruit like apples, oranges, etc.

There should be pre-loaded cards that can only be redeemed at the food banks.

That's true too. Government involvement lets rank and file leftwingers off the hook.

It still ignores the fact millions of uninvited invaders are also drawing on those limited resources. Plenty of Americans have no problem helping their fellow Americans but bristle at the thought that Americans suffer as uninvited foreigners suck up their charity.

...

But we are a pretty Conservative area so there are plenty of people willing to donate their time and money to the food banks

...

Liberals are always willing to donate other people's money.

Another "list" pulled straight from the ass.

That is a much better idea than what we're doing, where SNAP is used to buy sugary drinks, snack cakes and chips. Even fast food and convenience store snacks. The savings would be immense. The health improvements would be immense. So much better than Michelle 0bama's $5 billion "Let's Move" boondoggle.

What's wrong with her list?

I might add beans on there.

 

[Rogue AI]

Does not matter. You are not doing your share either, apparently.

That is hardly for you to decide. Get over yourself. Idiots like you make the problem worse by supporting illegal aliens who also use such limited resources. Convince your side to do something before making demands of others. Your arrogance is hardly going to convince anyone of anything.

It won't.

You don't think there were religious organizations before FDR doing their best to carry the full load?

You are foolish.

That would mean importing another 38 million Mexicans.

By the way, immigrants are a net positive for our economy.

Also, our birth replacement rate has dropped below what we need to keep our economy going at full steam.

So we need those Mexicans and anyone else who will come here.

Yes, that means non-whites. I know that bunches your panties.

It’s a good list of healthy foods to allow for decent breakfasts, lunches, and dinners - including lean protein, veggies, and fruit.

What’s the problem?

Agreed legal immigration is a wonderful and necessary thing

We need to get rid of all these illegals taking jobs away from legal immigrants

You are foolish.

You're not listening. The problem at that time was communication and logistics. We now have that ability. You open up volunteering opportunities like that, people will JUMP at the chance. People are hungry for a way to do Jesus' work. Church attendance will spike as an outgrowth of that. Something the Marxist left definitely doesn't want.

You have to admit welfare STARVES people of the opportunity to serve others.

Straight out lie by a straight out MAGA liar.

Make them legal. The do less crimes per capita than civilians like you and me.
