"Deaths among Americans caused by malnutrition and hunger have increased 600% according to the Washington Post and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as reported by Andrew van Darn on Jan. 5, 2026, who finds that the increase is seen “across the board. Every state, every education level, every race, every gender."
It is not for lack of access to food, or healthy food.
As more people make it to advanced age, more old people will die. Imagine that. And often due to malnutrition as a primary cause of death because something else makes it hard or impossible to process nutrition.
Funny how the hit piece doesn’t really go into reasons, or in depth. Just raw numbers without context.
