I help to operate a food pantry where we give food to people suffering from AIDS & HIV. We also give U.S.D.A. food out and of course U.S.D.A staples are available tro anyone that asks for them with a declaration that they fall into the Government income guidelines.
I attend bi-annual meetings at a food bank where we get our U.S.D.A. staples, and at one of the meetings we were informed that because of the Nation's crack-epidemic of the last 15 years, many of the babies were taken out of their mother's homes and placed in foster care where they were neglected and left to wander the streets. We were told that in most major cities there are thousands of young children that have fallen through the system and live on the streets. We were told that if a 6 year old comes in asking for food to give it to him or her. Considering this fact, I would like to know if anyone has accurate numbers of how many starving children live in the United States of America today?

no idea, but I think if you take all the parents, women, that do meth, multiply by 4, you would have a good approximation.
meth kills families and kids

We are NOT a poor, starving country...we dont suffer from starvation. If there are children that are starving it can be solved by picking up the phone and calling one of the many agencies available that will solve the problem in less than one day. Give me a break countries like Somalia, Sudan, etc....THEY are starving and have no one to call...they have never even seen a phone. Lets trying to make ourselves the victim...we have it all and its time for us to share with the WORLD, not try to make fake statistics so we keep our money here....Greed thats what we have!

There are no starving children in America. Or at least there shouldnt be. Consider this, Ramen noodles less than twenty five cents/meal. You can eat them dry. No stove necessary.
