Fine, amended, Kit: in the US there is hunger, but not one single sign of starvation. Not one.

In NPR's worst efforts they found poor people who "made tough choices" but not one starvation amongst the lot of them.

They found 38 million people who are "food insecure" because as you said, they live paycheck to paycheck and one paycheck may not get the food on the table. And here's a picture of one of them, from "A Rural Struggle to Keep the Family Fed":

Or from "Hunger Hidden but Real in America's Suburbs":

I've seen pictures of real hunger and it sure doesn't look like this.
