One in six children go hungry in the US, true or false?

This is often repeated in ads from NGOs asking for money so I decided to look it up.
This stat comes from the dept of agriculture, the same department that "awards" food stamps and sent it to their recipients.
Now imagine you are receiving a benefit and the same dept sends you a questionnaire asking if you need said benefit, how would you respond to the following (heck how would anyone respond to it)
Does your child ever miss a meal? (Im not hungryyyyy)
Does your child ever not have sufficient food to eat? (Im hunggyyyy)
Does your child not get a balanced meal? (I dont want those vegetables).
Of course anyone would answer yes to these questions. Im amazed "the majority of children in the US" arent hungry.
Wonder why the govt itself would pay for surveys to manipulate the public to benefit NGOs?
Wonder if the money ends up supplying food to the convoys heading north to the US border.

hungry =/= malnourished
Obesity is out of control in our country. It costs us hundreds of billions each year.

False

If someone says their kids are going hungry they need to be taken from the parents
Welfare, food stamps, food banks, free school breakfast & lunch….there is no reason why any kid should go without unless the parents are misusing the money given to them by tax payers

If true, it is entirely the fault of the "caregiver" and cannot be fixed with anything but removal.

I wouldn’t be surprised. When I was teaching in public schools, I had several students who didn’t have food to eat at home. I can imagine meals are hard to come by for kids living in poverty in rural areas.
Are you implying all kids have enough to eat in America?

Most kids I see in the US now, especially the poor kids in poor neighborhoods, are fat little bastards.

The whole “food insecurity” thing leaves all this open to WIDE interpretation.

The number one health problem of America’s poor …….. Obesity.

If the DoAgriculture uses this questionnaire to make this claim, then it's an admission that their programs are a total failure. Time to shut down this failure and turn "food welfare" back to charities and churches. You know, people who really care about the kids and have a desire to do something, since it is their ideology.
Less government is better!

As long as we keep sending money over to stupid countries that hate us when they are not in conflict with another country, our children will keep starving to death

We’re the most obese country in the history of the world.

It's been a long time since people were actually starving here.
We have food insecurity, where you don't know where your next meal is coming from.
We have food deserts, places where it's harder to get good healthy foods at. This happens more in pockets and isn't so much some overall issues but a community issue. But even there you can typically get food of some kind....
We as a country have a diet problem not a starvation issue.

True
I've seen parents trade their EBT for drugs, kids go hungry.

As is its MO, the Left has redefined hunger - according to the Left, a 5'2" 175 lb 6th grader is "hungry" if all he eats is McDonald's, Cheetos and Mt Dew because he's not getting prescribed levels of nutrients.
Not near the level of climate change and racism, but hunger is a thriving industry in the US.

If they are truly going hungry, based on the unbelievable numbers I’ve seen of low income fatass single moms, odds are, kids meals are being eaten by mama.
