BREAKING NEWS: Fed's Reach A New Socio-Political Low (I Know, I Was Surprised Too)

According to the new Department of Agriculture's report on American's access to food no one is hungry. That's right. People who have trouble eating, and therefore staying 'alive', are no longer hungry because the term isn't 'scientific' enough.

Henceforth, those Americans who are 'starving' aren't really starving. Wait for it...they have a "very low food security."

"Mark Nord, the lead author of the report, said "hungry" is "not a scientifically accurate term for the specific phenomenon being measured in the food security survey." Nord, a USDA sociologist, said, "We don't have a measure of that condition."

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."

COMMENTARY:

Call me old fashioned, but maybe it would be more time-effective to not gather a brain-trust to generate a lifeless euphemism for 'hungry' and to find starving people some fucking food. Who gives a shit what would be a more scientifically palatable description.

Mmmmm, bureaucracy. Like a bucket of wet shit in your face.

2) Then: "American Citizen" Now: "Unlawful Enemy Combatant"

3) Then: "Muslim" Now: "Living Challenged"

4) Then: "Starving" Now: "Very Low Food Security"

5) Now: "Rape Victim" Soon: "Unwilling Semen Recipient"
