| 41. When exactly was the last documented case of someone actually starving to death in the USA? |
|
Someone being locked in the cellar without food doesn't count. And neither do psychological eating disorders or child neglect.
I am talking about actual, down to the last dime, exhausted all resources, charity and government assistance starvation...???
I'm sure lots of folks are hard up and I don't mean to sound cold-hearted, but do some research on the dust bowl and the Great Depression. At that time there was actual and desperate starvation (not a lot of fat people in those old "Hooverville" photos).
Basic nutritious food in the US is cheaper than it has ever been in the history of humanity. Things like rice, beans and even (with a little effort) fruits and vegetables can be had in sufficient quantities to feed a family for $10/day--less in many cases. It ain't Lobster Newburg but it will keep you full and healthy.
