Of the 12 million families that worried about putting food on the table, 3.9 million had members who actually went hungry at some point last year. "The other two-thirds ... obtained enough food to avoid hunger using a variety of coping strategies," the report said, "such as eating less varied diets, participating in federal food assistance programs, or getting emergency food from community food pantries or emergency kitchens."

These are dismal statistics for a country as well-to-do as the United States. But we don't hear much about them because hunger is associated with poverty, and poverty is not even close to becoming part of our national conversation.

The interesting statistic that is interesting for its absence, is the number of deaths from starvation. At or near zero doesn't serve the left's agenda very well does it.

Send Fox's illegals back to him and let him feed them!

There are many avenues for poor AMERICANS to get food.
Salvation army gives warm lunches, church groups have food programs, food banks, food stamps.

The worse part of poverty is homelessness. There doesnt appear to be any solutions for that, but food is not a problem as far as anyone can tell.
