No one in America is hungry unless it is by choice. There is free food everywhere.
There's no way 35 million people are struggling with hunger. 3.5 million, maybe. Not 35.
"There are 35 million people in this country who are struggling with hunger, no matter what you call it,"
Duh...isn't that the number of babies who need feeding? Let's see...16 mil illegal immigrants having one baby per year..first thing you know, it all adds up.
Food stamps are being replaced by debit cards. Food banks can't compete. Who wants beans and rice when you can have steak and lobster?
BS. If they chose to not get off their ass and get a job, its noones problem but their own !
Here comes the socialism !
They DESERVE free food and then they DEMAND free healthcare !
GET A JOB !!
I was starving this morning. This must be a standing wave of hunger, ie, 35M Americans are hungry at any given moment. Like just before lunch.
He must be counting dieters and people who work through lunch.
Especially at the grocery store.
I read somewhere that they changed the name because Americans aren't hungry and they are now counting who would go hungry if they lost their job etc.
NO ONE starves to death in the US unless it's by choice.
We have an obesity problem with our poor.
Still there.
America's problem isn't too little food, but too much. And the poorer the economic circumstances of the people I see, the more overweight they generally are.
There was an article in the local MSM paper yesterday, critical of this new policy, which mentioned, straight face, among a list of things obesity as a proof there is hunger in America. Thank you doctor, you can put on me my straitjacket now.
Ten per cent of Americans are going hungry?
I have a widespread feeling that this is total crap. Statistics manipulation in other words, based knowingly on false assumptions...common tactic of leftists.
Democrats won Nov 7, apparently.....
The typical question that these surveys were based on are like, "Were you or any member of your family ever hungry during the year?" I kid you not.
Are they including anorexic pseudo-celebrities like Nicole Ritchie in the "low food security" group?
BOHICA in progress.
