Abstract
Food insecurity is a problem in the United States that cuts across all ethnic divides. The statistics related to Black people and children are astounding, as they represent highly vulnerable populations to the risk factors exacerbated by the inability to afford healthy meals. Since food insecurity impinges on people’s health, financial resources, and education, it should be curbed. Universal free meal programs at schools, promoting well-being policies with low healthcare costs, and educating people on nutrition labels, grocery lists, and budgeting must be practiced to fight against food insecurity effectively
