In response to "Dawson posted a stat that 1 in 6 people in the US is going hungry to some extent. I just saw a stat that 32% of Americans are considered obese." by Lorenzo Von Matterhorn

I can't trust US hunger stats anymore.

I saw a stat like that where they were counting anybody who had gone to bed hungry in the past year as "going hungry".
