This summer, food gets harder to come by for Florida families

[Zorro]

Despite a federal benefit to help feed kids when school is out, Florida turned it down again.

Taylour Grant squeezed a dollop of sauce next to the dinosaur-shaped nuggets she had just pulled from the air fryer. She handed the Styrofoam plate to her 14-year-old daughter, April, who lay on the couch under a purple blanket.

In the sink, raw chicken thawed for dinner. Grant, 29, sat beside April but didn’t eat. Tucking her red braids behind a leopard-print headband, she said she usually has just one meal a day so that her kids can eat.

“I make it stretch,” she said.

A mother of four and a nursing student, Grant is doing everything she can to keep her children fed this summer. She’s not alone. For the third year in a row, Floridians say it’s getting harder to afford groceries, according to a statewide survey from No Kid Hungry Florida, a nonprofit that works to increase access to food for children. More than half said that rising food prices have pushed them further into debt over the past year alone.

1. R's are totally down for killing children - once they are born.

Before they are born they are golden and their mother's lives are being destroyed and ended even if the child won't live because "sinners got to pay". They totally hate us!
