I want to know how many people in the USA starved to death. When they can show it's more than 100 a year ... I'll think about making this a low priority issue.

NO ONE starves to death in the US unless it's by choice.

Are they including anorexic pseudo-celebrities like Nicole Ritchie in the "low food security" group?

Ok, let us define our terms, for this discussion. A "Hungry family" is one where the kids don't eat dinner, because no dinner is available.

I know my grandmother suffered thru that, in the 20's - but it never happened to my parents, or to me, or to my kids.

Does such a condition still exist in the US?

I have no idea.
