A multi-day fire in Texas where multiple buildings at Feather Crest Farms was finally extinguished, making this just the latest in more than 100 accidents, plane crashes, explosions and fires, at food processing/manufacturing facilities since 2021.

Add that to the US cattle herd shrinking to the lowest level in more than seven decades, Amish farmers still under siege by the Biden regime, war affecting food prices in multiple categories, and unprecedented amounts of food recalls, food costs 20% higher than when Biden started occupying the White House, and we have the perfect storm of events making it difficult for parents to feed themselves and their children.

Food insecurity has steadily risen since the Biden regime took over. 

In March 2023, reports showed that almost 25% of Americans were considered food insecure, which was a jump of 5 percentage points from the previous year.

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. 

Food insecurity indicates that someone isn't able to secure enough food for a nutritious diet, which can lead to skipping meals or cutting back on food. Those strategies, though, can have implications for a person's health and well-being, experts say.  

The number of people living in food insecure households in the United States in 2022 increased to 44 million, including 13 million children, according to a report released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This is an increase of 31% for all individuals and 44% for children from the previous year, the highest rate and number of individuals and children since 2014 and the largest one-year increase in food insecurity since 2008. The USDA report confirms what Feeding America heard from people facing hunger in its 2023 Elevating Voices: Insights Report, where people surveyed agreed that federal and local governments should treat food insecurity as an urgent crisis despite headlines asserting an improving economy and lower unemployment rates.
