Yeah. When I was a young sailor, I encountered “food insecurity”, but it was because of voluntary choices I made as a young adult.
When I became a petty officer, I was given the option to have a mess hall card, entitling me to three square meals a day and mid-rations if I desired them.
Or, I could take money instead to buy my own food.
I chose the money.
More than once I ran out of money due to carelessness or bad choices in prioritization.
I remember going for two weeks with only powdered ice tea and Wonder Bread that I buttered with cheap tub margarine.
But those were my own choices.
These college students who are experiencing “food insecurity”...how many of them have cars? Nice new clothes? Top of the line smart phones with unlimited plans, smoke cigarettes or buy drugs and/or alcohol?
My sympathy level is low.
.
I went with the old-fashioned oatmeal.
It's healthier (?) than Wonder Bread.
