Almost 25% of American adults are food insecure, a jump of about five percentage points from a year earlier as the double whammy of high inflation and the end of pandemic benefits squeezes more household budgets, according to a new study.

The study, which is based on a survey of almost 8,000 adults in December, found that about 1 in 6 adults relied on charitable food, such as free groceries or meals, last year. By comparison, about 1 in 8 adults relied on food charity in 2019, prior to the pandemic, the study noted.

Adults whose grocery costs increased a lot were about twice as likely as other adults to be food insecure, the study found. These are"folks who feel they are but one emergency away from being able to meet their food needs," she noted.

Are they educated? I am sure no, but you NEVER mention education as a way to solve problems.

Inflation by Democratic leaders. Job well done Democrats, keep voting Blue for more if the same

Thanks joe.

Another negative brought to us by Joe Biden. Yet, the MSM uses crafty words to confuse the senseless into believing their plight is worldly. ALL the decline has been caused b/c Biden is in the WH & his Democrat party reversed Conservative policies resulting in RUIN.

Sorry, so when I look at the US American citizens, very few will starve 🍔🌭🍟🥃. On the contrary, eat a third 😜

How could this be true after Joe has created so many high paying jobs?

Stubborn Inflation challenges Powell. Balloons under stress, but no going back. Min 25BP inc. to maintain momentum. COVID ends, 15 year Easing adjusting to 6% level. Ukraine's disruptions receding. China Manufacturing Relocating. Deficits sustaining 3.4% Unemployment.

Have they tried to self-identify as Ukrainian?

I just bought a dozen eggs for $8.

Sounds to me like we have a massive population of people that have actively worked against their own well being for decades. Maybe we should address that.

And please...... remember to thank the Biden/Harris regime and the Democrats won't you?

Interesting isn't it? Biden and his regime tell us we are all doing so well. And yet... the truth is that we aren't. I wonder why we accept the lies from elected officials? We don't accept them from others, but politicians seem to think it is their inherent right to lie.

Eggs? One per week. Problem solved.

Soooo, why does US keep admitting .millions of people here through OUR Southern Border Charity begins at home? If you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else, etc., etc......

Your are American's! You mean to tell me you can grow food for yourself? Ok.. 25 percent need start an urban farming program or a garden. Got a vacant lot in your neighborhood? ..

Thank Joe Biden.

A couple months ago when I started running low on funds I tried not eating, made it 22 days then gave in. Now I just eat every other day. Only in America. Crackers for breakfast, a muffin for lunch and a slice of bologna for dinner. What a country.

Why is that?

That is a good thing. Americans are too fat anyway.

Tell that to the 2 ladys infront of me at walmart that got like $700 worth off food stamp groceries that included clams, crablegs and lobster. Eating like god dam kings while the rest of us work for PB n Js

66% of US adults are overweight or obese.

Yet we see those same people spending money on cigarettes and booze. One can do ok if they learn how to utilize food money to buy food they can cook. I have seen the women of the Islands do so to an amazing degree. Fiscal conservative here.

Almost 60% of American adults are food insecure,HERE IS WHY

Maybe we should do a national sit down. Capitalist society can’t function if everyone stops working.

Any mention of corporate greed or…nah?

Biden has this economy booming💥 ! We wealthy democrats laugh at these dumb dumb trumplicans starving from our penthouses, lololololol. *gazes at my PhD in african transgender studies with delight and sips a fine wine* 🙂

Pork Chops are my favorite meal with side dishes... Mr Kevin Lee Dixie fort Wayne Indiana..

Haha, I've seen My 600lb Life. If those slobs can get food, so can the hungry kids. US is overflowing with food

Freedom of information act. Single black ( race) men and never 🐝 been married.. Cooking not s my weakness. Single so long that on labels. Eat lots of wholesome food alone . And don't care of the public concern about a wantabee( hacker) eat plenty food alone

Yes but at least no mean tweets to the media anymore

Please send a thank you letter to Joe Biden and his supporters. I just hope that the insecurity affects his supporters the most.

yet MSM continues to give a free pass to Biden. And you wonder why no one trusts you 👏

And yet we are the fattest country in the world 🤔 that 25% also owns $1000 phones

Its ok to say 'corporate greed' instead of inflation. That word is useless now btw.

The federal government collected $5 TRILLION in taxes last year. If 25% of Americans are food insecure, what have we spent $5 trillion on?

Between this and the banks collapsing, it makes sense why the admin needs a “Trump arrested” distraction.

“Food Insecure” 😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡. Forced starvation caused by greedy demented eugenist at the WEF, MIC, UN, IMF… is now the softened food Insecurity.

But … but … it’s the most diverse admin in our country’s history!

Biden’s boom

Good companies need to stop price gouging.
