What will be an ideal response?
Food-insecure children are more likely to have poorer general health and report more asthma, stomachaches, headaches, and colds, and they may not grow normally. Behavioral problems in school, lower educational achievement, higher rates of depression and suicidal symptoms, and increased levels of psychological distress also have been linked to food insecurity. Parents may compromise their own diets to allow children to have better diets. Food-insecure adults have a higher risk of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, and poorer management of these diseases.
