This would appear to be the root of our obesity problems.

73% of Americans are overweight or obese (42%). But via another form of "cooking" (see thread)it is inferred (CBS) that hunger is a significant problem in the US (don't you experience hunger every day? Do you sometimes not know what you are going to eat? If you can answer Yes or sometimes to 3 of the USDA questions (from which I think the below claims are usually derived) at link covering the last 12 months, then you also can be said to be "food insecure.")

Study finds nearly 25% of Americans are food insecure MoneyWatch Nearly a quarter of U.S. adults sometimes don't get enough to eat...

Experts predicted America was racing towards a "looming hunger cliff." They were right, data shows (https://www.salon.com/2023/07/05/experts-predicted-america-was-racing-towards-a-looming-hunger-cliff-they-were-right-data-shows/)
