I Need To Eat Lunch Soon, I Suffer From 'Low Food Security'

From the same party that turned ketchup into a 'vegetable' to fill lunchroom health quotas, renamed the estate tax the 'death tax' so it seem like something that taxes death instead of rich people's inheritances, and passed something called the Healthy Forests Initiative which allows timber companies to destroy forests comes the next great rhetorical scam... the renaming of a feeling we used to call "hunger" as "low food security".

The Washington Post reports "the Agriculture Department issues a report [annually] that measures Americans' access to food, and it has consistently used the word 'hunger' to describe those who can least afford to put food on the table. But not this year... [because] 'hungry' is 'not a scientifically accurate term for the specific phenomenon being measured in the food security survey,' [according to the report's author]." The article adds that "The USDA said that 12 percent of Americans -- 35 million people -- could not put food on the table at least part of last year. Eleven million of them reported going hungry at times. Beginning this year, the USDA has determined 'very low food security' to be a more scientifically palatable description for that group."

Oh, and the report is usually released in October; this year, it was delayed 'til mid-November. Can't imagine why!

God bless the GOP, doing Christ's work all over our land. He'd be proud.
