Thats a remarkable misrepresentation of what I said.

your comment was a remarkable miss of the point. whether or not food insecurity is comparably low to other nations (specifically nordic countries according to that graph) does not change the fact that food insecurity, hunger and starvation all do in fact exist in the US and will rise when snap benefits cease

Hunger and starvation pretty much do not exist in the US. There are less than 30 starvation deaths annually. Invariably these are the result of criminal abuse and neglect, not poverty.

Sure, we should be working to decrease food insecurity but you have to acknowledge the reality that the US has come closer to eliminating the problem than almost any society in the history of the worlf.

Any amount of hungry or nutritionally unsupported children is too many, even if we’re doing comparatively better to other countries

missing the point again 🤦‍♀️ this post is about "food insecure" people which is an umbrella including but not limited to hungry and starving people. you brought up other countries, so i refocused you to the existence of such issues domestically and listed a few. you fixated on hunger clearly not having read the rest of the article you sent

and the point still stands that cutting snap benefits will increase all forms of food insecurity, including hunger/starvation. this is a historically proven truth

That screenshot only supports my point that food insecurity is not the same as hunger.

i was critiquing you for comparisons to other countries when op is clearly talking about a domestic issue that still exists whether it's better or worse elsewhere. nobody said food insecurity is hunger. stay on topic buddy

How dare I add context 😡

What you said was off topic and you've added no context. You attacked a silly semantic straw man about "hunger" when the term was "food insecure", tried to blame OP for that straw man all while brining up international data in a domestic discussion. Hush

Any rational person can see OP was implying that food insecurity means a lack of food and that this is a national moral failure. You can’t call something a national failure without asking, “compared to who?” That context changes everything about how we address it. Most people don’t realize food insecurity isn’t the same as hunger. It’s wild that you’re this upset about adding context that helps people understand the issue.

any rational person can see op used the words "food insecurity" which is an "economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food". any rational person would also see that you failed to minimize the consequences of food insecurity by pointing to other countries' higher food insecurity levels and low "hunger" in the US which were never the topics of discussion
