    I'm not sure where this information is coming from. Food is absolutely an issue in the country.

    Incorrect.
    Getting food to people maybe an issue, but we don't have a lack of food or a willingness from private or public to provide food.
    Pride/ego asking for help is not the same thing.

    Give me the contact to 1 family out of this 1.4 million you are referring and I will arrange to have a month of meals ready for them by tomorrow. My PM is waiting for your reply

    I don't understand this argument. Money is fungible. Food you buy with SNAP saves your money to play for rent, electricity, transportation. SNAP addresses financial insecurity, not just food insecurity.

    Not if you think being poor is a moral wrong!

    I double dog dare you to call your local food bank and ask this question. Then you can donate 100s of dollars to feed a family of four for a month, who are food insecure (and perchance live in a food desert). Next you can spend some of your spare time volunteering at a food bank, for a month.

    Be prepared to have your world view changed.

    You're suggesting I volunteer at a food bank to prove that people need food? That was never the position.

    What I said there is not a food shortage problem in this country for impoverished people. There are millions of people who would step up and help these people.

    Again as I stated, if impoverished people are truly going hungry, its not a problem of lack of help. Its getting them the food.

    Anyone who does not think we have an issue with people going hungry are delusional or they simply have their political binders on

    People in this country are going hungry, or are malnourished.
