I’m pretty sure that the privileged are well fed around the world.

Approximately 13.5 percent of U.S. households — more than 47 million Americans, including nearly 14 million children — struggle to put food on the table. Here the measure of hunger is “food insecurity” — an ongoing uncertainty of where the next meal will come from. More than 1 in 5 U.S. children are at risk of hunger (1 in 3 among Black and Latino(a) children). To the surprise of many, most Americans (51.4 percent) will live in poverty at some point before age 65.

Hunger in the U.S.

Hunger exists in the U.S. just as it does overseas. For countries like the U.S., hunger doesn’t come from not having enough food available but from poverty.
