A new study conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that food shortages in the US have risen over the past few years.  The report states that, at some point, 15% of all homes in the country have experienced food shortages.  The hardest hit are single mothers -- 3.5 million have had food shortages, roughly 37% of all single mothers.  The numbers show that Hispanics and African-Americans suffer much more in this regard.  Other groups that are said to have had food insecurity include single fathers (27% of them), houses with children <6 years old (22%), and married couples (15%).  Since Obama took office mid-recession in early 2009, food stamp funding has increased significantly -- 34 million Americans participate in food stamp programs every month.  Typically, the result of food shortages meant skipping a meal, or most commonly (97% of all people with a shortage) cutting back the amount of food per meal.
