Hunger in America Eliminated!

Unfortunately just the word - not the condition.

Yesterday there were hungry Americas.

Today the USDA has addressed that. The word "hunger" is no longer used to describe people that are, well, hungry in the Department's annual report on American's access to food.

"Mark Nord, the lead author of the report, said 'hungry' is 'not a scientifically accurate term for the specific phenomenon being measured in the food security survey.' Nord, a USDA sociologist, said, 'We don't have a measure of that condition'.

Well hungry or "very food insecure" (VFI) there are still somewhere between 12 and 35 million of them in the good, old US of A which is a bloody disgrace.

Next - "horny" to be replaced by "very ***ually insecure" (V*I)!
