A Recipe for Big Government: 'Food Insecurity'

The government tells us 33 million Americans suffer from food insecurity!

Really? 33 million Americans are hungry?

“That’s just not true,” says Rachel Sheffield, a researcher at The Heritage Foundation. “'Food insecure' adults are more likely to be consuming too many calories rather than too few,"

The government always tries to create a crisis.

“Government programs tend to want to keep themselves going,” says Sheffield. But their handouts harm the very people they are meant to help.

“We’ve spent more on the war on poverty than all the military wars combined in the United States without any success.”

The result? Increased dependency on government!

Expanding the welfare system seems to be the government’s main goal.

The food insecurity myth and others, like "food desserts,” are debunked in the video above.

I'm insecure regarding our government's ability to make good decisions about how they spend our money.

I can’t drink a $900 bottle of wine. I’m food insecure.

"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish...he eats for a lifetime". Ancient wisdom that holds true no matter the age we live in.

Please keep up this critical work, so that US citizens might one day wake up.

I clocked this 10 years ago when I kept seeing billboards stating that 1 in 4 American children went hungry. That just did not make sense to me. I pulled up the study and saw the verbiage mentioned in the video. I welcome more voices calling this scam out.
I do realize that there are people who are struggling, and the food bank is one charity to which I regularly donate. However, I can't stand when surveys are designed to manipulate "outcomes". The true irony is that with the current inflation rate we are now at a point where this myth might actually become true.

Never in the history of humanity have the “poor” been over weight.

Anything the government does "for the public good" makes me insecure.

Democrats have caused me to have 'wallet insecurity'. True story.

Government: "Give us all your money, we'll make sure most of it gets back to you in ways we deem 'good'."

I had a friend who worked for the DSS and her job was to inform people already getting hand-outs of all the other "benefits" they are entitled to. She would visit them at their homes and they ALL have new cars, huge TV's, and wasted money all over the place.. She was very unhappy about being put in that position but she was working for her retirement. after over 20 years, She finally lost it and quit giving up all retirement benefits but regained her self respect.... The system is horrible, they drag people, mostly single mothers, and once your IN, it starts a new generation of entitled people. Kids grow up thinking that life is more about welfare applications than job applications and the pattern continues...

Imagine a world where governments waste money on researching a problem they caused and then demanding more taxpayer funding to “fix” it. Repeating this process over and over again. Sounds like the definition of insanity to me.

America needs people like you John, to run for office. I would vote for you, no matter what.

Being a produce department manager in a large regional chain of grocery stores that cater to a multitude of ethnicities and tax-brackets, I can safely concur that the “food desert” is yet another unicorn…brought to us by a government that continues to offer solutions to problems that don’t exist.

Democrats just found ways to create new types of plantations

Spread a lie long enough and far enough, it becomes accepted as the truth. Thank-you John, for your clarity of thought and courage to tell the truth.

Obesity was also a problem during covid, but we never heard about it. They should have been talking about healthy lifestyles, but instead we heard nothing but talk about vaccines and masks.

One of the easiest ways to control people is to keep them dependent.

I never experienced “food insecurity” until Biden was inaugurated and inflation went to 17% year over year while my wages stayed stagnant.

[mattmurdock]

I cut my food budget in half by buying store brands. 😅 I had no idea I was insecure by food because I’m able to eat every day of every week

I grew up poor. We had no air conditioning or heat. I grew up in the Panhandle of Florida. I was not fat, I was a skinny kid. Real hunger is a great motivator to get off your ass and go to work. These crooked politicians want to control. That's why they encourage people to get on the draw. That way politicians have more money they can skim their cut off the top.
