Every time I’ve heard this claim I often thought it was made up, how can we be suffering with a childhood obesity problem and a childhood hunger problem?
My daughter is in a school corp here in Indiana...they have FREE breakfast for everyone...and all the kids eat it because of variety and what they serve...it ain’t No Michellee foods!
I don’t know how they do it - but they do...other school corps have a bag lunch as they call it for students to take home during the weekend with enough food for each child for all 3 meals until they can get back to school...
I would use that program to identify the parents - and then hold them accountable for buying smokes and beer and for not feeding their children! pathetic...that just in my neck of the woods - two different programs just to make sure these kids get food!
I occasionly was hungry when growing up. Usually around 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon, right when school let out. If you asked a group of kids if they ever went to bed hungry you’d get a high percentage of ‘yes’.
For example the claim women make 70 cents for every dollar a man makes. Yet I never had a job, nor has anyone been able to name one for me, that has one pay scale for men and one for women. And remember when the USA had the highest rate of infant mortality rate? That was debunked because there were variances in the way different countries recorded IMR
Haven’t watched the food network since they dumped that southern lady who loved butter.
I was attending a community college a few years ago. The sorority was holding a food drive with a banner saying “One in five children are starving”. I told him (yes him) that there are no starving children in America. He gave me a really dirty look. I then asked to see pictures of children, in the USA with distended bellies from starvation. I walked away from the silence.
I live in a county where the one third of the population reside in its largest city. I no longer contribute to food banks or Feel Good Holiday Dinners because of the grifters, I send what little money I can afford to USO and Veteran groups.
Wonder how the donations are going in St. Louis County Missouri.

The reason kids are going hungry is that they’re eating school lunches, instead of actual food.
20% my @ss, I’d believe maybe 2%.
One in 5 children go to bed hungry and the other 4 are obese
I have never heard of a hungry child, unless they were neglected by an adult. This is a non-existent concern. I have seen plenty of hungry adults, who were mentally ill homeless people, who would not avail themselves of readily available free meals.
