Contrary to the statement, food insecurity in the United States has not been steadily declining since the year 2000. In fact, rates of food insecurity have fluctuated over the years and have remained relatively stable since the Great Recession of 2008. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 10.5% of households in the U.S. were food insecure in 2019, which is slightly higher than the pre-recession level of 11.1% in 2007.
