Politics / 13 Million Children In America Are Facing Hunger! by admax(m): 12:59pm On Aug 07, 2017
The relevant information there says:

–36.3 million people–including 13 million children–live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger. This represents more than one in ten 0households in the United States (11.2 percent). This is an increase of 1.4 million, from 34.9, million in 2002.

–3.5 percent of U.S. households experience hunger. Some people in these households frequently skip meals or eat too little, sometimes going without food for a whole day. 9.6 million people, including 3 million children, live in these homes.

–7.7 percent of U.S. households are at risk of hunger. Members of these households have lower quality diets or must resort to seeking emergency food because they cannot always afford the food they need. 26.6 million people, including 10.3 million children, live in these homes.

The second two paragraphs amplify the first. The 36.3 million people live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger. 9.6 million people, including 3 million children, experience hunger, when people frequently skip meals or eat too little. The second group, 26.6 million people including 10.3 million children are at risk of hunger, which they deal with by buying cheaper (and less nutritious food) and by relying on public or private food programs.

So three million children live in homes that experience hunger. Two further points are important:

–First, this is really “experience hunger at some time during the year.” A majority of the people who were hungry at some time during the year were hungry in several different months, but only for a few times each month. So that daily statistics for hunger would be smaller.

–Secondly, the number of children that experience hunger would be smaller, as adults usually try to shield children from hunger. The first people to be hungry are usually adults.

Thus, on a typical day in November 2003, for example, between 490,000 and 698,000 households (0.4-0.6 percent of all U.S. households included one or more members who were hungry because the household could not afford enough food. Children are usually shielded from hunger even when resources are inadequate to provide food for the entire family. Nevertheless, hunger among children occurred in 33,000 to 37,000 households (.08 to .09 percent of all U.S. households from children) on a typical day. [This would represent an estimated 100,000 children with three children per family.] Source: Food Security Research Brief.

HN would suggest the following paragraph from the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service that we believe summarizes things nicely:

Throughout the year in 2003, 88.8 percent of U.S. households were food secure, essentially unchanged from 2002. The remaining 11.2 percent (12.6 million households) were food insecure. These households, at some time during the year, had difficulty providing enough food for all members due to a lack of resources. Within the 11.2 percent, 7.7 percent were food insecure without hunger, and 3.5 percent had one or more household members who were hungry at some time, unchanged from 2002. The prevalence of food insecurity with hunger among children was 0.5 percent of all U.S. households with children, essentially unchanged from 2002. Food Security Research Brief

To summarize, the good news is that 13 million children are not hungry each day, (which I think was the thrust of your question). The bad news is that 13 million children live in families that are threatened with hunger.

Politics / Re: FFK: APC Cult Of Death, APC Smells Like Rotting Chinese Fish And A Brothel by admax(m): 11:14am On Jul 17, 2017
APC disappointed us especially because of in-fighting, secrecy around the President's illness and the cabals BUT they are far far better that GEJ's government.

GEJ will go down in history as one of the weakest President in Nigeria's history. Unlike an effective VP Osinbajo, GEJ also took a weak VP Sambo who we all called a ghost worker.

GEJ handed his government to people like Diezani, his wife and others who stole billions of Dollars under his watch!

So FFK, spare me this thrash!

#N.B: I don't care which party is in power, I am more concern about the people behind those parties and I can say that both PDP and APC are Bloody same!

Tinubu foresaw these kinds of issues with the National assembly, that was why he tried unsuccessfully to ensure those leading both legislative arm of Government are those loyal to APC but Buhari in his foolishness said he doesn't care who emerges as Senate president and the Speaker!

I am sure he is regretting that action wherever he is. How can people of the same political party be acting like oppositions?!

I was in a job interview today when the manager handed me his laptop and said, "I want you to try and sell this to me."

So I put it under my arm, walked out of the building and went home.

Eventually he called my mobile and said, "Bring it back here right now!"

I said, "N300,000 and it's yours."

1. Don't live with a man who hasn't married you.
2. Don't marry a hot-tempered man.
3. Don't marry any man that slap you just once.
4. Don't marry a man that is not born again in every sense of it.

The neighbour watched while he beats her to death, they only protested as soon as she died. What kind of people are they.
