Hunger a growing problem in America, USDA reports

Hunger a growing problem in America, USDA reports
"In the survey used to measure food shortages, people were considered to have food insecurity if they answered 'yes' to several of a series of questions.
Among the questions were whether, in the past year, their food sometimes ran out before they had money to buy more, whether they could not afford to eat nutritionally balanced meals, and whether adults in the family sometimes cut the size of their meals -- or skipped them -- because they lacked money for food.
The report defined the degree of their food insecurity by the number of the questions to which they answered yes."

Good golly, is this nation nuts!
The USDA, a government department, uses the junkyist of junk surveys to "prove" a non-problem and every media in the world picks it up and touts the disaster that is "starving America".

Gimme a break!
