“Food-insecure households (those with low and very low food security) had difficulty at some time during the year providing enough food for all their members because of a lack of resources,” according to a new report from the USDA.
The USDA describes food insecurity as a household whose ability to acquire adequate food is limited by a lack of money and other resources.

The October report shows that 17 million U.S. households were “food insecure” in 2022, a significant increase from the 13.8 million households that reported food insecurity in 2020.
About 55 percent of food-insecure households in the survey reported that in the previous month, they participated in one or more of the three largest Federal nutrition assistance programs: SNAP; the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and the National School Lunch Program.
It comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone that the prevalence of food insecurity has gone up each year of the Biden administration. The USDA reported last month, "Food prices are expected to grow more slowly in 2023 than in 2022 but still at above historical-average rates. In 2023, all food prices are predicted to increase 5.8 percent."
