I had to deal with food insecurity when I was a young adult. This was around the turn of century. More than once I wrote checks I could not cover, hoping to get cash in the bank before it cleared. And I had to eat overdraft fees I obviously couldn’t afford as a result.
This isn’t so different in that not having enough money ends up costing more. And with wage disparity and food costs being what they are now, it’s easy to believe that percentage, unfortunately.

Side note: man I’m super old :(
“Turn of the century” and immediately think of 1900… And I’m like oh wait 2000 is a turn of the century.
