The
name of the article that I read was called “17.9M
U.S. Families Struggle To Buy Food.” This article was about
families that are living in the United States and are experiencing
some type of money issue. Due to these money issues, people who are
experiencing this are having a hard time buying food for their
families. The article stated that “1
in 6 U.S. residents, struggle to feed their families due to lack of
money.” In the article, they worded it as lack of food security.
They said that families are having to deprive themselves of food
because of the lack of resources. The article also said that families
that have single mothers or fathers are at higher risk for being food
impoverished. This also goes for families who are apart of the
African American and Latino races. Because of these reasons for food
insecurity, there are over nine million children living in households
like this.
Reading
this article made me very sad. To know that there are so many
families struggling to eat is a problem. Poverty is a very big global
issue that affects so many people around the world. When I see this
happening here in the United States, I automatically think about the
children in other places of the world, who experiences this also.
When I read this article, one of the main things that stuck out to me
was the amount of children not getting the nourishment that they
needed due to them being food deprived. Since this is happening, the
children's education and development can suffer or be delayed. A
child can not learn effectively if their stomachs are empty. This is
an issue that really needs to be looked at more in depth. More
policies need to be put into place, so that families do not have to
deal with these types of issues.
