Really. I would love to see your source for that.
- maskedinvader 12y agothink its more like 1 in 5 according to [1] [1]: http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hunger/child-hunger/child-hunger-fact-sheet.html http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hu...
- happyscrappy 12y ago20% in 37 states are food insecure, which apparently is some new term to do with nutritional requirements, I assume that means they are eating junk food. Pretending children are starving in the US makes India look better but is dishonest.
- fixermark 12y agoPossibly closer to 20%. http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hunger/child-hunger/child-hunger-fact-sheet.html http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hu... But the point still stands: implying "India has to get its house in order, but America's solved enough problems to be morally justified pursuing the deeper mysteries of the universe" is a pretty arbitrary drawing of a line in the sand.
