The recession has meant that large numbers of all types of households have been struggling to purchase adequate food, but households with children suffered extraordinarily high rates, according to a new report released by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). In surveys running for five years through 2012, nearly one in four households with children said they couldn’t consistently afford food. This underscores further the almost incalculable harm portended by the House Majority Leadership proposal to cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) by a staggering $40 billion.
