Aux Etats-Unis, le nombre de pauvres explose. 50 millions d’Américains souffrent d’insécurité alimentaire. En pourcentage, cela représente 14,6 % de la population.

Food insecurity - defined by the USDA as when "food intake … was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year because the household lacked money and other resources for food" - afflicted 14.6 % of Americans in 2008.

Ie, some 50 million people were too poor to guarantee being able to put food on the table.
