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.

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?

Who should remove them from the home?
Where should the kids go after they are removed from their homes?

Are you telling me you had hungry children in your care and did nothing to resolve it. You are part of the problem, a big part of it.

Obviously not to your place you would just let them starve.

100% agree, Even adults, Usually extreme hunger is usually associated some kind of mental illness or cruelty.

Of course she did something: She went to Reddit and she and her fellow Liberals sat around blaming WHITE MEN, drank some box wine, then fell into a satisfied sleep surrounded by her many cats.
You see, Liberal Women don't actually SOLVE PROBLEMS, they sit around and "have conversations" where White Men are ALWAYS the enemy, then pat each other on the back as if they actually did something positive.

He's stating that there are programs already in place to provide access to food to every kid in America. This statement is almost certainly true. If the parents are too incompetent to manage free food, there's nothing more a society can do.

This times one million.
Remember a couple of years ago when the Obama administration were running ads RECRUITING folks for Stamps?\
Hungry kids in America are 100% the fault of shitty parents, period.

Would whoever is down voting these type statements please explain why it is not the fault of the caregiver?

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.
Posted on 1/1/24 at 6:42 pm to trinidadtiger
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.
