USDA: Food Insecurity Remains High in the United States
An estimated 17.6 million households, or 14.5 percent of all households in the United States, were food insecure at some point in 2012—meaning they lacked access to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members, according to a report released last week by the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Economic Research Service. The report noted that 3.9 million of these food insecure households included children. Rates of food insecurity have remained consistent in the United States since 2008.
