No kid in America should not have enough food. If we want to feed kids we have to know how many kids need to be fed. Ignoring and avoiding such an important issue will only make it worse.
Spread the word and call your legislators. We can make a difference and keep kids fed.

If the annual food insecurity survey is canceled - the US has no way to monitor how often this experience is happening.
1 in 5 children in Kentucky are food insecure (do not have enough to eat). This is a 48% rise in two years.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.
Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.
This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.
