U.S. Failed to Reduce ‘Food Insecurity’ Despite Spending Billions More

U.S. Failed to Reduce ‘Food Insecurity’ Despite Spending Billions More | Washington Free Beacon:
"The USDA says its food programs “increase food security.” However, the agency’s spending through the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) increased by $6.4 billion from 2011 to 2012 with no statistically significant change in the level of food insecurity.
“Food and nutrition assistance programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) increase food security by providing low-income households access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition education,” the USDA said in a report released this week.
By the agency’s own measure the change in food insecurity from 2011 to 2012 was near zero."
