Childhood Hunger Is Linked To Violence Later in Life

Children who often go hungry have a greater risk of developing impulse control problems and engaging in violence, according to new UT Dallas research. The study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, found that people who experienced frequent hunger as kids were more than twice as likely to exhibit impulsivity and injure others intentionally as adolescents and adults. More than 15 million U.S. children face food insecurity — not having regular access to adequate nutrition, according to the study.
