If the annual food insecurity survey is canceled - the US has no way to monitor how often this experience is happening.

1 in 5 children in Kentucky are food insecure (do not have enough to eat). This is a 48% rise in two years.

@ariellesmith.bsky.social You explained the notion of proximal and distal outcomes in SSI work and the importance of identifying them early on in SSI development really really well when we first started working together -- might be helpful for folks if you talked a bit about that somewhere!! :)
