Gonna just gesture to this thread https://twitter.com/khandozo/status/806171938234077184?s=21">https://twitter.com/khandozo/...
My thread refers to American history, but I don’t think it’s irrelevant to Tory evil either.
Oh, re: “don’t eat” so your kids can; there’s already research on this. When a hetero nuclear family doesn’t have enough food, typically the dad still eats enough and the kids get the next most and mom gets the least.
I& #39;m looking for a source on this; my brain does this thing where I remember pretty much everything I read that I find at all interesting, but I often can& #39;t remember names or sources.

Children are aware of food insecurity and will try to help their families. https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/141/6/1114/4600285">https://academic.oup.com/jn/articl...
Here& #39;s one piece that refers to the gendered nature of hunger. This is global and this piece focuses on the "global south," but I remember first reading this about American hunger. https://www.e-ir.info/2020/04/08/eating-last-and-the-least-analysing-gender-in-global-hunger/">https://www.e-ir.info/2020/04/0...
A lot of research on American hunger and gender at the moment is about single mother headed households and the structural burden placed on single mothers of course means they& #39;re more likely to be hungry.
Here& #39;s a piece on how food insecurity affects parent/child attachment. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0192513X19842902">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1...
From a chapter on food insecurity in wealthy democracies in the book Global Agenda for Social Justice: "There are several demographic categories notable for the consistency of their association with food insecurity across time and across countries." (cont& #39;d)
(cont& #39;d) "These are: & #39;low income& #39; for household income level; & #39;female& #39; for gender; & #39;Indigenous& #39; or & #39;minority& #39; for ethnicity; and & #39;sole-parent& #39; (especially female-headed) for household structure." (cont& #39;d)
"The consistency of these categories indicates the systemic nature of significant drivers of food insecurity in rich liberal democracies."
