Household Food Security in the United States in 2024

What is "food security"? A loaded ideological and propaganda term of art? A very cunning attempt to elevate food to the level of national security?

There are so many food donations available in the US like in few or even no other countries of the world!

The good news: "2024 food security report will be the last after the USDA decided to terminate future reports"

How many illegal immigrants (incl. unaccompanied children) were "food insecure"? I bet this report does not say!

"Overview
An estimated 86.3 percent of U.S. households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2024, with access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (13.7 percent) were food insecure at least some time during the year. Very low food security is the more severe range of food insecurity where one or more household members experience reduced food intake and disrupted eating patterns at times during the year because of limited money or other resources for food. In 2024, 5.4 percent of households experienced very low food security."
