(Washington, D.C., September 20, 2025) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the termination of future Household Food Security Reports. These redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous studies do nothing more than fear monger.

For 30 years, this study—initially created by the Clinton administration as a means to support the increase of SNAP eligibility and benefit allotments—failed to present anything more than subjective, liberal fodder. Trends in the prevalence of food insecurity have remained virtually unchanged, regardless of an over 87% increase in SNAP spending between 2019 - 2023.

USDA will continue to prioritize statutory requirements and where necessary, use the bevy of more timely and accurate data sets available to it.

That is trump's philosophy, if we don't count the number of hungry people, there aren't any.

 

[Loulit01]

Too many hungry people to mention.

Propaganda infotainment probably tells them that poor people are fat anyway and that no one is hungry unless they deserve it for some reason.

Is that the same as what I read this am?

After cuts to food stamps, Trump administration ends government’s annual report on hunger in America​

​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is ending the federal government’s annual report on hunger in America, stating that it had become “overly politicized” and “rife with inaccuracies.”​

​

The decision comes two and a half months after President Donald Trump signed legislation sharply reducing food aid to the poor. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the tax and spending cuts bill Republicans muscled through Congress in July means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as SNAP benefits.​

​

“This follows the playbook of many non-democracies that cancel or manipulate reports that would otherwise show less-than-perfect news.”​

Hunger is a basic tenant of the human condition. It's not something that should be eliminated.

So...same with disease and sickness, right? As well as rape, physical assault/abuse, stealing, territorial fighting (war), and murder?

You're kidding me... Hunger is a basic human condition. Use the infant as an example. Hunger plays a key fundamental role in shaping and developing human behavior. I would argue more so than anything else. It's part of what makes you human.

Please answer my questions. What distinctions are you making between hunger and the things I listed...like sickness/disease, violence, etc? These things "shape and develop" human behavior as well. How are they 'not part of what makes you human?'

So why was MAGA complaining so much about the price of milk right after the pandemic?

So this is what we’re getting instead now that we are in “Trump’s golden age”? LOL OK.

Starving is a very natural way of dying, more should try it.

And then there's the Gordon Gecko argument.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to end its annual food insecurity survey will make it harder to measure the impact of the Trump administration's cuts to nutrition programs such as food stamps, anti-hunger advocates said on Monday.

President Donald Trump's tax cut and spending bill passed in July included significant cuts to the nation's largest food aid program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, including expanded work requirements for recipients and state cost-sharing requirements that state governments will likely struggle to afford.

Without the hunger report, it will be more difficult to determine whether those cuts cause food insecurity rates to rise, said Eric Mitchell, president of the Alliance to End Hunger.

"There's no way to determine what that impact will look like if the government isn't tracking the data," Mitchell said.

The lack of data will also make it harder to ensure the efficacy of existing federal programs, including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, said Georgia Machell, president and CEO of the National WIC Association.

Impact of Trump cuts will be harder to track without USDA hunger survey, advocates say

If you don’t have any testing you don’t have any cases.
