Kyle Waide, president and CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, joins CBS News to discuss how the need in his community has changed since those benefits expired.

  1. Life is not about eating all the time. You don't have to have 3 meals a day like society says. It's plenty of food, why keep talking about food insecurity?

  2. There is SO much failure across the board within our systems. Too many incompetent people in positions of power who are making decisions that harm Americans. We need a complete reset. Americans deserve better

  3. yes, it's true. I got ONE child support payment ever in over a decade and they cut me and now we're starving and have been for months, sorta, not able to pay other bills, for sure, because if I have to choose betweeen feeding my kids and paying rent, utilities, and cc payments… I pick eating. that's all I have money for… eating and the minimums on the cc's… sorry. I re-applied and the worker that had processed the information on the ONE child support payment had entered that ammount in the system as an ammount received "monthly" hahahahahahahahahahahaha WAY TO GO ONCE AGAIN COLORADO! (if you want timely child support payments and nice roads and affordable housing and nice people and honest mechanics…. DO NOT COME TO COLORADO!)

  4. Any of theese families who get pregnant should be last on line .
    I can't get an appt. Due to illegals.. how do those that go there have nice cars ?

  5. I would skip meals daily beforehand so that my kids can eat better. I eat any leftover bites on their plates when they leave some. Wich I usually get about 1/3 of a meal out of breakfast and dinner some days. My budget is 50 cents per meal as a disabled single mother

  6. I seen people on food stamps load up their carts to the max and they only pay a few dollars. I pay a fortune for food. Just because I don't breed I am punished.
