Food insecurity, part of the complex matrix of poverty and toxic stress, is a significant health risk. Embarrassingly, the US ranks among the highest of the developed countries in the prevalence of food insecurity, with the prevalence of food insecurity higher than Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Denmark, Spain, and the United Kingdom.1 In 2016, 16.5% of US households with children reported food insecurity2; that is, 4.2 million households were unable to provide adequate food for their children.
