☆ Another public health crisis: 1 in 8 U.S. households struggle with food insecurity, government report finds
  + stars: | 2023-10-27 | by ( Annie Nova | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Nearly 13% of American households were food insecure in 2022. That means some 17 million families, or 1 in 8 U.S. households, struggled to meet their nutritional needs at some point in the year, according to a new report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The prevalence was "significantly higher" in 2022 than in 2021, when 13.5 million households were food insecure, according to the USDA. Food insecurity is even more of a challenge for certain groups. More than 22% of Black families reported food insecurity in 2022, and more than 33% of single mother-led households reported food insecurity over the same year.

☆ Food deserts aren't what's causing hunger in the U.S. — It's wages, inequality and inflation
  + stars: | 2023-07-16 | by ( Juhohn Lee | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
About 33.8 million Americans didn't have adequate access to food, according to the latest report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "Food inflation, as we've seen during the pandemic, has gone up, driven in large part by supply chain disruptions and shortages of food supply during the pandemic," according to Erika Thiem, chief supply chain officer at the nonprofit Feeding America. Food deserts, where access to affordable and healthy foods is limited, have also been widely blamed as a major cause of hunger in the U.S. He continued, "it's food prices that matter, not food access." "I think part of this is how problems compound problems," according to Stacy Dean, deputy under secretary at the USDA.

☆ U.S. farm agency proposes hike to nutrition benefits for families

Nov 17 (Reuters) - Mothers and children who receive benefits from a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrition program would be able to spend more money on a wider range of groceries under proposed changes to the program introduced by USDA on Thursday. The agency had committed to updating the foods offered to WIC participants in the White House national hunger strategy released in September. The boost has increased child intake of produce, according to a report by the National WIC Association, a nonprofit. WIC serves low-income pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to age five. The agency will be collecting comments on the proposed changes until Feb. 21, it said in the release.
