New Report: 1 in 5 Texas Households Can't Afford Enough Food

A new report released this week by the Food Research and Action Center has revealed new insight into levels of food insecurity in the United States-and the results aren't pretty. The report looked at hundreds of thousands of American households' responses to a single question posed by Gallup: "Have there been times in the past 12 months when you did not have enough money to buy food that you or your family needed?" FRAC calls this struggle "food hardship," and found that "Seventeen percent of surveyed households in 2014 answered 'Yes'" to experiencing food hardship"-that translates to 1 in 6 households struggling to afford enough food nationwide.
