A survey released Wednesday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found higher levels of food insecurity this year than during the summer of 2020, when the coronavirus outbreak sparked double-digit unemployment.
The New York Fed periodically asks Americans whether they’re having to skip meals, having to rely on food donations or receiving federal assistance to buy groceries. Replies from the most recent survey, in February, show hunger is a more pervasive problem now than at any time in the last six years.
Hm, wild. Didn’t realize how pervasive it is- I only eat one meal a day to make sure my daughter has more than enough… she will never know want as far as I can help it … not like she ever wants anything besides buttery pasta anyway lol
Hey someone’s gotta sacrifice for shareholders. Business is booming you see AI? Layoffs to make money for more
executive bonusesinnovative AI experiences.I’m sorry. Are there any food drives near you?
Don’t be- I’m good, family is otherwise thriving, always have fresh fruit and veg for the kiddo, plenty of protein options. I was doing intermittent fasting before all this went down so it’s not even that big a change for me
If you are not already hooked up with mutual aid groups in your area, and one is available, doing so may unlock some additional resources for you. Local Food, Not Bombs chapters are also good. No one should have to go hungry.
