[Mayraj Fahim <fmayraj@yahoo.com>]

Adult members of Generation Z are experiencing food insecurity at over twice the rate of the average American, according to our latest consumer food survey. In fact, about 1 in 3 Americans born from 1996-2004 have had trouble affording enough food in 2022.

That compares with fewer than 1 in 5 millennials and members of Generation X, and fewer than 1 in 10 baby boomers.
