Americans no longer hungry
The USDA has finally admitted that there are no hungry Americans. "Anti-hunger advocates" are of course outraged. But this should have happened long ago. Food is so plentiful and cheap in America that there is no excuse for anyone to experience physical hunger if they don't wish to...well, maybe if you're a quadriplegic who has been abandoned. Food prep and storage is hard for the homeless. And there's much malnutrition. Most of that is deliberate (if the word can be used for "choosing not to think"), but not all. An intelligent person can eat a very nutritious diet on almost nothing, but the intelligent generally aren't poor either.
The formerly hungry now experience "very low food security."

I got the picture. "Let them eat cake.", right? Food is cheap? Where do you shop? For a variety of reasons, many children arrive at school HUNGRY and food programs are the only substantial meal they receive for the day.
