With grocery prices up nearly 13 percent compared to last year, many low-income Americans receiving food assistance are going hungry (via CivilEats)
“It’s like a bad dream,” Dominguez said in an interview in Spanish. “Every week, the prices increase and increase and increase.”
Black and Latino households consistently report higher levels of food insecurity than their white counterparts. And that’s a sign that SNAP isn’t doing its job, say anti-hunger advocates., a mathematical model that determines the cost of a budget-friendly, balanced, healthy diet. The U.S. Department of Agriculture designs theoretical “market baskets” for different age and gender groups and uses the results to determine monthly SNAP allotments.Some say that model is flawed.
Now, the market baskets include mostly whole, minimally processed foods including fruit, vegetables, bread, meat, cheese, and yogurt. Relying on such ingredients can be difficult for low-income folks, who often work long hours and have minimal time to cook.
