Wednesday, November 8, 2023

RENO, Nev., Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutrient Survival, the pioneering force in Special Ops Grade nutritional innovation, is making waves this Thanksgiving by not only offering nutrient-dense survival food, but also by giving back to those who serve our nation. Since its inception in 2020, Nutrient Survival has experienced explosive growth, thanks to its patented nutrient-dense products and compelling brand proposition. Now, the veteran-led company is looking for more ways to serve those who are currently serving our country.

Key Points: 
  • Recent data from the RAND Corporation (Food Insecurity in the U.S. Military: Responses to Eight Topics Raised by Congress), reveals that food insecurity is a critical issue for military families, with a surprising breakdown:
    30% of military members who report living on base experience food insecurity, which is 7 percent more than members living off base who are categorized as food insecure.
  • It is also important to note that food insecurity among military members is often compounded by social and career stigmas.
  • Military members are concerned that asking for help with food insecurity or general financial problems will negatively affect their military careers, potentially even leading to a loss of their security clearance.
