“When all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life, including both physical and economic access to food that meets people's dietary needs as well as their food preferences.” --World Food Summit of 1996

Why are people food insecure in the US? Poverty is the fundamental cause – Midlands Family Study we found that for every additional $50 in income, risk of child hunger reduced by 6% Risk of child hunger *Reduced by 35% * Reduced by 100%

Life happens… “we [were] catching it so hard because my car had broke down, I didn't have no reliable transportation. When you did have transportation, you could not determine when they were going to come, if they were going to be on time, whether they were going to be late, whatever. So I ended up losing my job”

Trying to work “I got a job but it didn't last long because part the plant burnt. So we got laid off. But then I got another job at a mill. It was a sewing factory. And I wasn't making nothing but six -- started with $6.50, I believe. Ended up with $ and during the course of that, I was seeking another employment. I was going back to the same place that where the fire burnt, but I had to put in another application because it was more money and I went back there, and I stayed there until 2009, but the plant moved overseas. And after that, it was kind of -- just like I said, it was kind of rough… I got laid off in '09. Didn't have a job in '10 at all. But we had unemployment. And then later on, I did apply for food stamps [and] I went to school in another profession…yeah, I went to school for CNA, certified in I got a job in When we were laid off, we had to go through -- we call it Transition Center -- where we go and we get our setup for our stuff for unemployment, and they offer us [job training]”.

Other cited causes of US household food insecurity Inadequate social safety net – SNAP benefits only cover 70% of families’ estimated food costs by design – Child nutrition programs have limited reach Lack of political will to eliminate child hunger – Core debate in the US is whether we “raise all boats” or “let them sink or swim” Social isolation – Less social connections – Less social support
