- rbetts 2y agoWhile cost of food (as a percentage of income) has declined significantly, hunger is a real issue in the US and shouldn't be downplayed. Currently, in the US, there an estimated 40M people and 13M children at risk or experiencing hunger: https://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/pub-details?pubid=107702 https://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/pub-details?pubid=1077...
