The Trump administration is ending a decades-long effort to track food security at a time when many Americans are struggling to get proper nutrition or enough to eat.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Saturday it was terminating the annual Household Food Security reports, which were introduced in the 1990s to help state and federal officials decide on food assistance programs. The latest USDA report, published in September last year, found some 18 million U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2023, a million more than in 2022......
Kyle Ross, a policy analyst at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, questioned the Trump administration’s claim that the USDA food security survey had become politicized, noting that it has been produced annually by Republican and Democratic administrations for around 30 years.
“It is also not redundant, as this survey serves as the official data source of food insecurity statistics,” he said in an email.
Ignorance is bliss, right? 
And the tariffs are so helpful.....not.
