1 in 8 Canadian families struggle to put food on table, study says

About 1.6 million Canadians faced some level of food insecurity in 2011, according to a new report.

 

That amounts to nearly one in eight families who have inadequate access to regular, healthy meals because of financial constraints.

And the problem is getting worse says the report, entitled Household Food Insecurity in Canada, produced by a research team from the University of Toronto, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Calgary, and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

There were 450,000 more Canadians living in households affected by food insecurity in 2011 than in 2008.
