18 per cent of Americans say they could not put food on the table

Nearly one in five Americans have said that there had been times over the past year when they could not afford to put food on the table, despite record participation in a food stamp scheme.

Never ceases to amuse me how people come here with their statistics to tell me about my country's problems when they don't even live here.

One doesn't have to burn his hand to find out fire burns, Daily Telegraph is a reputed news source...and they have their reps everywhere...
the report could be exaggerated but it's not false
There surely must be a pinch of salt in it.....no wonder!
In any case the situation if it is as stated is bad
