USDA: Number of Americans Going Hungry Increases - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com: "More than one in seven American households struggled to put enough food on the table in 2008, the highest rate since the Agriculture Department began tracking food security levels in 1995."

"The USDA said Monday that 5.7 percent of those who struggled for food experienced "very low food security," meaning household members reduced their food intake."

So only 0.83% of Americans actually went hungry. Exaggerating doesn't help.
