To prepare, we're looking at some previously released facts on food security. Today, take a look back at this fact on hunger in America: Weâve addressed the recessionâs impact on poverty. Hunger is directly related. Nearly 15 percent of U.S. households were defined as âfood insecureâ in 2011. That means they skipped meals, cut back on the quality and quantity of food, or relied on emergency sources. Food insecurity spiked as the recession took hold in 2007 and has not receded. Minority households were more than twice as likely to be food insecure as white families. 57 percent of food insecure households said they relied on at least one of the three biggest federal food programs â SNAP (food stamps), WIC (aid to low-income women, infants and children), and reduced-cost or free school lunches.
