Description
Summary:First paragraph: The public health challenges associated with food insecurity in the United States are thoroughly researched and catalogued at regular intervals by public institutions, academics, and community-based organizations. The data provided is often used to design targeted interventions and advocate for policies to increase access to healthy foods, which are always worthy endeavors.
