Although we generally have an over-abundance of food in the USA, the issue is more about the distribution of food. I used to work at a Wh*** Foods store, where I was sickened with the amount of food that was thrown away. Dumpsters full of food that went bad, behind the store's gallery of decadence where foodies indulged themselves with high end food products. It was a difficult time working there. Thing is, everyone deserves to have good food. Everyone deserves food period.
So even in the United States of Gluttony, there are poor people, and homeless people. One national group that tackles this issue is Food Not Bombs. They do a reasonably good job at re-distributing food to those without.
