Food consumption and food insecurity have always been prevalent in the US, and growing up, I had many friends who struggled with food insecurity. This has shown me that a lot of the cheapest and most readily available food for those who struggle with insecurity food is unhealthy and overly processed food that contains many chemicals that are extremely unhealthy to make into a diet. Across the US, countless families suffer from food insecurity, but the government has helped provide many outlets for people to receive the food they need. This includes food pantries through foundations like the Red Cross, and many cities have their own foundations that provide food for the residents. In many other countries, the food insecurity and poverty levels are extremely high. Many of their governments have not instated any means to help fix these levels because of the economic issues. One region, South Asia, has become the most recent hotspot with the largest population that is being severely affected by the lack of access to healthy food. Roughly 1.4 billion people in this region cannot afford the cheapest health. Many other economic problems coincide with the poverty levels, such as the rise in petrol prices, making travel more expensive and challenging for locals.
