A new study by Northwestern University found that 29 million Americans, 11%, sometimes or often cannot afford to eat. This is a drastic rise from 2018, where only 8 million reported hunger.
The culprits cited are the high unemployment rate, COVID-19 school lock downs that prevent children from getting their subsidized means, and the inadequacy of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP).
The increase in food insecurity has been hit the lower middle class the hardest. 12% of families in the $35,000-$50,000 income range year are now reporting that they do not have enough to eat.
The report awkwardly shoehorns critical race theory language in some sections, emphasizing that blacks are somewhat overrepresented among the hungry (22% vs 13.4% of the general population), but the plurality (42%) of Americans suffering from food crisis are white.
Lack of food tends to impact children disproportionately and white children are already less than 50% of the population under 15. 86% of the counties facing the worst hunger problems are rural.
The precarious economic situation of working and middle class Americans means that 46 million people relied on food banks before the pandemic. The current number of people in this situation is unknown, but it is certainly much higher and public food pantries are becoming overwhelmed.
As millions struggle to find a meal, farms across the country have been destroying record amounts of fresh food due to reduced demand on the market. The shocking practice is meant to prevent a reduction in prices and profits.
The sharp decline in civic engagement in America documented by figures like Robert Putnam has also led to increases in demand being met with a struggle to find volunteers to move and deliver food to the needy, especially the elderly who are at most risk from COVID-19.
Hunger is back.

when Nutenyahu said ” palestine today tomorrow America ”
it was part of the big plan , the jewish road map, rob america steal what they could and let the carcass rot
and americans did nothing
Caused by a lack of concern and greed in this society. Dumb down the population and they stay that way.
Too much into Sex, Violence, Greed, Lies, Ignorance and Deception. Especially Sex. Those who rule you are aware of the behaviour and use it to control you.
Always put your spirit first because eventually you are going to die.
A reset is about to happen.

America is DOOMED! No nation can survive with the extreme disparity of wealth that exists in America today. Half of the country has little, or NO net worth, and then the top 1 percent has a large number with hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars. Jews have done this to America with the “financialization” of the investment markets to allow plunder by Jews, and the Jew Federal Reserve has held interest rates at/near ZERO for about two decades so that Americans can get NO yield from their savings. The Jews of Wall St and Wash DC have ruined the USA. Last person out, or the last American to be near death from starvation, turn out the lights.
Aren’t Americans always hungry?
Bankster jews are using covid as a pretext to shut down meat packing plants, vegetable and fruit harvesting, disrupting supply chains so that milk is poured on the ground, cattle and pigs are rotting on the ground. Starvation seems to be one of their favorite techniques for depopulation – ie holodomor.
How’s that allowing mongrel maniac Jews to rule your nation/world working out for you? Just ask some Ukrainian Christian kulak how that turned out.
Remember what Jesus said: ‘Salvation is from the Jews’. (John 4:22)
They are shutting down slaughterhouses and farms by saying there are outbreaks of “covid-19” amongst the workers. All bullshit to shut down the food supply chain. We can all look forward to massive food shortages coming soon. Between the “vaccine” and starvation, it’ll be interesting to see how many people will be left standing by this time next year.
When whoever- it- was was stuffing the Gospel of John with word-for-word copies of Buddhist text to make it appeal to some higher IQ readers he had plenty of time to helpfully add that “salvation is of the Jews”, in contradiction of Jesus’ general attitude. All great men hate the Jews.
“Jews”, “Jewishness”, “Judaics” — a rose by whatever other name — be names of MASKS worn by key players of The Power$ That Be [TP$TB]. If pushed back for a time, they, like the Marranos of Spain, will fade back into the woodwork like parasitical cockroaches. Though many may snidely dismiss, theories about “Phoenicians” and several millennia of their efforts have yet to encounter refutation. The nonsense of today makes better sense in that hoary historical context.
Let’s agree on this: We have no names on putatively human faces — just the visage of puppets parading before us, Gates of Hell, Fauci playing Faustus, Trump the Orange Clown playing POTUS, Obummer before him, add Georgie Sorrows, see the cast of thousands, brought to you by HorrorWorld in COLOR!

Let those who cast aspersions first refute the work of Anna Von Reitz and the Living Law Firm. I’ll be the first in line to sign on the dotted line.
Don’t procreate children if you can’t afford to properly take care of them… I advocate for public assistance for those “down on their luck” (elderly who were productive during their lives being the exception, as they should be treated with dignity) being 3 years at most and the ONLY thing they should be getting free beyond that is contraceptives. Those on public assistance who have more children should be punished for their recklessness rather than be given even more support…
