The reasons for the rapid increase may include people’s difficulties in maintaining a healthy diet and a new focus in identifying malnutrition, according to a new report

    the program’s local providers “consistently report serving seniors who struggle to afford or access nutritious food while living on fixed incomes and facing rising costs

    It’s OK, that’s how the Americans want it.
    Just downvote as much as you want (Apparently not nearly as relevant as I expected). But the reality is that Americans as a people and politically have always been fine with letting poor people die.

          a) This article is predominantly about the food insecurity of people 65 and older, but I don’t expect you’ve read it. The data you’re presenting shows that demographic either stayed the same among men or went more blue among women and that women 65+ predominantly voted Harris. It’d be a 100/0 split in a sane world, but welcome to America.

          b) Navigator Research is some dogshit no-name pollster that explicitly exists for activism. I don’t care what their numbers from 5000 voters are even if I assume seniors do more broadly lean Trump than Harris.

          c) Both of those points are completely irrelevant to your ageist bullshit hoping seniors starve to death; collective punishment is disgusting to wish upon people, let alone when we’re talking a nearly 50/50 split.

          Check and see if any therapists or reading tutors in your area are taking new clients. Just as long as you fuck off somewhere else.

          Dude we are talking a few percentage points here. Even if it were most of them, no one deserves to die like that. Get your head screwed on straight.
