Our church does a lot of work with people in the very bottom of the income level.
And no one, repeat no one is "food insecure".
The only place we have seen this is where parent are addicts and are too busy to worry about getting food, even though the government is giving them money to do so.
Anyone else have personal experience with this?

About 11.8 percent of Americans were "food insecure" in 2017, representing about 15 million households, according to data released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's down from 12.3 percent a year earlier, but still higher than the pre-recession rate of 11.1 percent in 2007, the agency said.
Food insecurity, defined as failing to have enough food because of a lack of money or other resources, is a closely watched measure of hardship. The problem, say poverty experts, has never truly been solved since President Lyndon Johnson launched his "war on poverty" in the 1960s, which included food stamps. Hunger still touches every state in the country, the USDA said in its latest report.
