A new poll from the nonprofit No Kid Hungry New York details that 79% of New Yorkers across the state are saying it had become harder to afford groceries over the past year, a rise from the year before.
Rachel Sabella, the director of the New York branch, joined NY1 political reporter Ayana Harry on “Inside City Hall” Tuesday to break down the results, including a focus on New York City households.
The survey also highlighted that 40% of city households bought less meat, fish, eggs or other protein because of the cost.
Sabella also explained that more than a quarter city public school parents noticed a decline in the quality of meals in schools.
