Who is "food insecure" in Canada? New data shows "very high" need

With the cost of living rising, new data from Statistics Canada shows more Canadians are feeling "food insecurity" with the nearly seven million saying they're worried about being able to pay for food and close to two million saying they're having to miss meals or even go days without food.

According to the agency, there are also three groups that are some of the hardest hit: single mothers, Indigenous and racialized families and it is regardless of income, with those both above and below the poverty line facing insecurity.

As Sean Previl explains, food security experts say it raises questions about what it means to be in poverty and why governments need to take big action to change things.
