US Abolishes Hunger!
This just in:
The Department of Agriculture recently released its annual report detailing Americans' access to food and for probably the first time in history zero Americans are suffering from hunger! But my goodness, what's this? Turns out that some 35 million Americans are suffering from some new condition called "low food security", 10.8 million of whom are experiencing "very low food security." The Department of Agriculture asserts that the term is simply more precise and scientific than the emotive "hunger". Is this wordplay harmful? Are we skipping around problems with linguistics?
