1 in 4 Americans Worried About Having Enough Money for Food

From the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC):

One in four Americans is worried about having enough money to put food on the table in the next year, according to a national hunger survey by Hart Research Associates, commissioned last month by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) and Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN). Another key finding is that many Americans are unaware of how serious hunger is in their own communities.

Other key survey findings include:

• 91% of Americans are committed to the principle that no one should go hungry in the U.S.
• 89% believe hunger impacts the physical development of infants/toddlers.
• 53% believe that children often eat cheap, unhealthy foods so families can pay rent.
• 51% believe that seniors often have to choose between paying for medical prescriptions or food.
