Im sorry, but regardless of average consumption statistics that are derived from entire population, hunger is hunger. Here’s the actual picture.
Child malnourishment. Even before the fact that 40 million people are going hungry in US, you have child malnourishment on top of that. No amount of consumption data will change that, and that is before the fact that it was not even relevant from the start.
Sure, a top ~20–25% in US are doing pretty ok compared to the rest of the world. A top 10% is doing great. A top 1% is really great. And a top 0.1% is in extravaganza.
However averaging out their situation with entire rest of the society does not change the suffering that afflicts bottom 80%, leave aside the poverty of bottom 40–50%.
