What a ridiculous statement. We have a massive number of people in the USA relying on financial support for purchasing food. Not every single American is fat, especially those who literally can’t afford to eat.

There are lots of Americans who go hungry, but mostly outside the USA. Starvation deaths inside the USA are almost entirely secondary to medical conditions that interfere with eating.
