Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

An average of 17.7 percent of all Americans were at times unable to feed themselves in the 12 months prior to September of this year. That's according to an analysis of data from the Gallup-Healthways Index, conducted and newly released by the Food Resource and Action Center (FRAC), an advocacy group.
You may be wondering: In what universe does a 17.7 percent hunger rate qualify as good news? In this one, actually. That figure, after all, represents a slight drop from the average 18.5 percent rate recorded at the end of 2009. But even the smaller figure is hardly reassuring, given that it means just under 55 million Americans had to do without food at least occasionally.
Hunger endures. It seems a timely point to make as we enter upon that season wherein we express profound thankfulness by gorging on turkeys and hams and yams and greens, potatoes by the mound, dressing by the mountain and groaning tables full of puddings, pies, cookies and cakes.
Hunger endures. The point also seems salient given an often niggardly political environment in which it is common to hear people speak of poverty as a defect of birth or character, and an André Bauer -- lieutenant governor of South Carolina -- can get away with likening children who receive free and reduced-price lunches to stray animals you feed at the back door.

Hunger problem solved.

I agree completely with the title of this article. Action SHOULD be taken to end hunger now. The action should be taken by the people who are hungry and should involve them trading some sort of labor or skill in exchange for the food they crave. I’d lay odds that if 17 percent of Americans are hungry, it’s because 90 percent of those CHOOSE to be hungry rather than work.
;-)
As long as that action doesn’t have the force of law: I’m in.
I’m hungry right now. But I have to wait for DH to get home before I can eat lunch. Does that count?
I have traveled to 49 states across the US (missing ND). I have also traveled to 32 countries throughout the world, most of them fairly 3rd world, at least 10 totally 3rd world.
After this traveling, I can say with complete authority...
“There is no such thing as poverty in America!!!”
“17.7 percent of all Americans were at times unable to feed themselves in the 12 months prior to September of this year”
Yeah, ain’t it a bitch when you actually have to get up off the sofa. Summer’s over and the pool’s closed, so now you have to watch TV all day (while collecting 99 months of unemployment).
Bummer.
...and McDonald’s still has Dollar menu items. This is just another scam to get your money so they can help the “starving Americans “in our mist.
One can get fat on the value menu items at Burger King and still not spend more than a couple of bucks a day. Once spent, however, those dollars can not go towards the daily bottle of Double Barrel down at the 7/11.
Brilliant
““Have you ever been hungry in the past year?”
and no doubt true
Nicely done

The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.
The “poor” “ain’t goin’ hungry” in the United States.
Most of them are FAT.
And they’re blaming someone else for THAT!
It’s all part of the endless web of lies and contradictions the left tries to spin.
