So because many people are obese, there must be no starving people.

And because you haven't seen starving people, they must not exist.

Please.

You're dealing with two separate issues, and it's the worst kind of rhetorical dishonesty to conflate them. I don't even have time to pick apart the flaws in your thinking here. They should be pretty obvious to anybody with half a brain.

"Based on the Census Bureau survey, USDA estimates that in 2000, 10.5 million U.S. households were food insecure, meaning that they did not have access to enough food to meet their basic needs. About 33 million people lived in these households, including 20 million adults and 13 million children."

More stats at http://www.fhfh.org/hunger.html

Pretend it doesn't exist all you want, if it comforts you and allows you to cling to your neocon fantasies.
