Trump Administration Ends Hunger Survey After Food Stamp Cuts

Trump Administration Ends Hunger Survey After Food Stamp Cuts

Imagine the government has a special report that checks how many people don't have enough food to eat.

This report, the Household Food Security Report, was used for 30 years.

The Trump administration decided to stop doing the report.

They say the report isn't very accurate.

This happened after the government made some changes to a food stamp program, and these changes are expected to make about 3 million people not eligible.

Some people worry this means it will be harder to help people who need food.

Others think that economic factors, such as wage growth, paint a better picture of economic improvements.

Now, it is unknown how people will keep track of hunger in the country.
