My mom had a very poor hillbilly childhood. My friends never understood why I have like 4-6 months worth of food in the pantry at all times instead of just buying as I eat.
Even in college when everyone was always broke, pantry just has to stay stocked. There always has to be a cushion.
I wouldn't really call that food hoarding though, but it's subjective
It doesn't just have to be when young, poverty fucks your brain up because for the vast majority of human evolution, if you were hungry or didn't have shelter, that was what you needed to focus on.
It's Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
If you don't know what that is, that's a good place to start. Then read up how the absence effects people.
There’s summer EBT, available nationwide for states that opt in, bringing eligible families $120 as a summer grocery benefit—which has been found to decrease by a third the number of households with children who sometimes went hungry. (But despite that, 14 states, including Georgia, Alabama, and Texas, have not opted in.)
State governments that would prefer children starve
Mitch McConnell despite all his big talk and rat fuckery/snake-like dealings has the common sense to accept tons of federal funding for Kentucky as he rails against the federal government
This has always been the case. It's just that nobody cared/could do anything about it. Now, there's an effort to feed these kids, but if course the Republicans have to fight it.
Don't forget about republicans' efforts to sabotage any free meal programs they can. If parents get priced out of food because of corporate greed, you can't expect the state to pick up the tab, can you???
Got my kids back after 4 years of custody battle. They eat white rice, ramen noodles, white bread, potatoes and Kool-Aid popsicles. Anything else is far too flavorful.
What kinda loser do you have to be to not feed little kids?!

What a remarkably ignorant thing to say. You sound like the kind of ignorant, aggressively unempathetic, jerk that probably shouldn't be winning any custody battles.
