US poverty isn't some controversial idea to be scare-quoted and dismissed as no big deal. 1 in 6 of our kids don't have enough to eat. Sheesh.

- ptaipale 9y agoActually, about 1 percent of children in the United States suffer from chronic malnutrition. And malnutrition occurs in people who are either undernourished or overnourished. In the United States, more children suffer from malnutrition due to dietary imbalances than due to nutritional deficiencies. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/pediatrics/Malnutrition_22,Malnutrition https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adu...
- ghettoimp 9y agoThe 1 in 6 figure is for "food insecurity." I'm sure "chronic malnutrition" is a worse condition.
