家园 实际上数量很小

About one-third of food-insecure households (4.7 million, or 4.1 percent of all U.S. households) had very low food security, essentially unchanged from 2005 (3.9 percent) and 2006 (4.0 percent). In households with very low food security, the food intake of some household members was reduced and their normal eating patterns disrupted because of the household’s food insecurity. The other two-thirds of food-insecure households obtained enough food to avoid substantial disruptions in eating patterns and food intake, using a variety of coping strategies, such as eating less varied diets, participating in Federal food and nutrition assistance programs, or obtaining emergency food from community food pantries or emergency kitchens.

Even when resources are inadequate to provide food for the entire family, children are usually shielded from the disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake that characterize very lowfood security. However, children as well as adults experienced instances of very low food security in 323,000 households (0.8 percent of households with children) in 2007, up from 221,000 households (0.6 percent of households with children) in 2006.

On a given day, the number of households with very low food security was a small fraction of the number that experienced this condition "at some time during the year." On average, households classifi ed as having very low food security experienced the condition in 7 months of the year, for a few days in each of those months. On an average day in November 2007, for example, an estimated 609,000 to 941,000 households (0.5-0.8 percent of all U.S. households) had members who experienced very low food security, and children experienced these conditions in 45,000 to 65,000 households (0.11 to 0.17 percent of all U.S. households with children).

引用来自您连接的报告的小结。初看是11%的人口,细看不到1%,与监狱囚犯人口一个数量级(见附录)。即这11%人口在一年中会有时抓襟见肘的时候,其中三分之二有途径解决(如政府社保),另外三分之一不是同时发生,即有几天这家困难,有几天那家困难,同时发生的机率不到1%。而每家的儿童基本不受影响,其它成员所受的影响是改变正常食谱。即不是没得吃,而是买不起贵的食品。

如果监狱人道了,人是不会饿死的,只要非法弄点食物,弄到了饿不着,被抓入狱了还是饿不着。
