If you say "well, not many people are really starving, if people just have to skip meals or suffer from malnutrition that doesn't count", congratulations, you're part of the problem.

The United States has so much food that no one should be going hungry.

Frankly, the world has so much food that no one in it should be going hungry, but the United States specifically doesn't have the excuse of civil war or crop failures or complete government dysfunction. We let our children go hungry from capitalism and spite.
