Very interesting work, Ex Machina!  Thank you for your thoughtful analysis.  Unfortunately, many of the federal programs linked to the pandemic have been sunset (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-food-benefits-poor-shrink-pandemic-provisions-end-2023-02-16/) and inflation is reducing the value of the dollar and making it harder for low-income families to budget.  So, we will likely see food insecurity increase in 2023.  Do you have any additional thoughts on non-governmental responses, particularly given the political climate in Washington?

Again, well done!
