Here we go Bobert. I don't believe this is a right wing blog: President Obama's 2015 Paper: Tackling Domestic Hunger

"From 2000 to 2007, the number of individuals living in poverty rose by nearly 6 million, to a total of 37.3 million."
[the population rose by 20 million]

"According to the Department of Agriculture, in 2006, 430,000 children in the United States experienced hunger."
[.06% page 20 of 66 1 in 5 is 20%]

"1 in 6 children lives in a household that is food insecure" [at times during the year, the food intake of household members was reduced and their normal eating patterns were disrupted because the household lacked money and other resources for food. page 13 of 66]

I hope nobody here thinks I don't care about children going hungry or that I think there are no children going hungry. There are children going hungry and it should be corrected.

Is the statement "1 in 5 children go hungry at night" a fact or an exaggeration?

Bobert won't say it is true and he won't point it out at the USDA. He just ducks the question. I don't hate Bobert or anybody, I am just questioning his "facts".
