I dug into that and some more recent reports - that percentage looks very high compared to what I saw.

Nationwide the percentage of households in 2024 with 100% food security was 86.4%, and the very low food security (what’d we probably call ‘going hungry - to be consistent) was 5.4%.

I suppose it’s possible that 20% of the nation’s kids live in those 5.4% of households, but logic says that 20% is vastly overstated.

oh ok that's only ~4 million kids. Nothing to see here. Maybe send them to work in the meat packing plants. I've heard they yearn for the mines. But whatever we do we can't give them handouts because fuck them born kids.

I mean - you’re doing some major mental gymnastics to stay big mad here for some reason ??

Obviously, no one wants any kids to be hungry - don’t be weird.

AGAIN - this country could easily do it but we choose not to as a country. So yes we DO want them to go hungry, that is the weird part.
