调查显示:美国1/7家庭吃不饱 1/4儿童饿肚子。


  国际在线专稿:据美联社11月16日报道,美国农业部的一份调查报告显示,2008年美国每七个家庭中就有一个家庭为“没有东西吃而挣扎”,儿童的情况更糟,每四个儿童中,就有一个“因为没东西吃而饿肚子”。
  该报告具体指出,2008年美国约有4900万人,或者说14.6%的家庭,因为“食物不足”而遭受饥饿,而这个饥饿指数在2007年只占了11.1%的美国家庭。美国农业部把这种饥饿定义为:对食物感到不足而引发不安全感,也就是没有足够可主动摄入的、维持正常生理机能所需的食物。

  研究人员认为,这种现象主要是由于经济危机带来的。美国农业部部长维尔萨克(Tom Vilsack)称,鉴于经济危机还没结束,2009年这个数字还可能上升,这份报告警告,现在是重视食品安全与国民饥饿感的时候了。
  造成饥饿感的另一个原因是食品安全问题。5.7%的美国人认为美国食品安全性很低,这可能会促使一些美国人尽量少摄入食品,人为地造成饥饿感。同时另一些相关的数据也的确在上升,比如食品券的申请人数和食物赈济点的设点处。
  美国总统奥巴马对农业部的这项调查结果“感到不安”,他表示,政府将致力于扭转这一趋势。而扭转的第一项任务是增加就业,这将有助于大大缓解经济压力。(李冉)

美国应该实行独生子女政策 来解决吃饭问题!
民主国家嘛 天天忙着去解放全世界 却忘了关心自己的孩子 这是多么大公无私的精神
等着伟大滴XX人民去解放他们呐...

是啊他们在向伟大领袖学习!
别怪我说粗话 简直就是放p

真是滑稽 太滑稽了
我就发愁 每天吃得太多了 影响身材呢
通通都是幻觉!

USDA REPORT REVEALS HIGHEST RATE OF FOOD INSECURITY SINCE REPORT WAS INITIATED IN 1995

  Economic Research Service Report Demonstrates Need for Action

  WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2009 - USDA's Economic Research Service's (ERS) today released its annual report on Household Food Security in the U.S., which revealed that in 2008, 17 million households, or 14.6 percent, were food insecure and families had difficulty putting enough food on the table at times during the year. This is an increase from 13 million households, or 11.1 percent, in 2007. The 2008 figures represent the highest level observed since nationally representative food security surveys were initiated in 1995. The full study is available at www.ers.usda.gov/features/householdfoodsecurity/.


"The Obama Administration has put in place unprecedented measures to promote job creation and combat hunger in our Nation, a problem that the American sense of fairness should not tolerate and American ingenuity can overcome, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "The Department of Agriculture's nutrition assistance programs provide a safety net that improves food access to those with critical needs, but addressing the root of hunger requires a broader strategy. By improving access to federal nutrition programs and working with our partners at all levels of government and society, we can make progress in our effort to reduce and eventually eliminate childhood hunger."


This year's report also reveals that one third of food insecure households had very low food security (food intake of some household members was reduced and their eating patterns disrupted at times during the year). This is 5.7 percent of all U.S. households or about 6.7 million. This is up from 4.7 million households (4.1 percent) in 2007, and the highest level observed since nationally representative food security surveys were initiated in 1995.


Even when resources are inadequate to provide food for the entire family, children are usually shielded from the disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake that characterize very low food security. However, children as well as adults experienced instances of very low food security in 506,000 households (1.3 percent of households with children) in 2008, up from 323,000 households (0.8 percent of households with children) in 2007.


The fundamental cause of food insecurity and hunger in the United States is poverty - marked by a lack of adequate resources to address basic needs such as food, shelter and health care. The Obama Administration has taken aggressive action on these fronts through the expansion of critical services for Americans most in need. The historic investments of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, with a focus on long-term job creation, are a major part of this effort. The Recovery Act provides tax relief for working families, job training, unemployment insurance, income support and affordable housing to needy Americans and their children.


A central part of the Recovery Act included a significant increase in nutrition assistance benefits for the 36.5 million people (half of whom are children) who participate in USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly the Food Stamp Program. It also provides resources to the state agencies that administer the program, helping them to deal efficiently with increased caseloads.


"As the Obama Administration works to foster a robust recovery for all, it's important to recognize that we have another opportunity to improve the health and nutrition of our children when Congress begins to debate the Child Nutrition Reauthorization," said Vilsack. "It is vital that we make it easier for families and administrators to bring eligible children into the program and to eliminate gap periods when children struggle to find the nutrition assistance they need - at breakfast, during summer, and in after-school settings."


USDA's National School Lunch program serves 31 million children a healthy meal each school day - for some children in need, this is their most important meal that day. USDA is working with states to increase the use of technology to make low-income children whose families already receive SNAP automatically certified for free school meals and to promote policies that make it easier for eligible families to participate in SNAP. Also, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, or WIC program, ensures mothers and their children have access to nutritious options as well. Nearly half of all infants in this country participate in WIC.


"During challenging economic times, the pool of those in need of vital food assistance expands," said Vilsack. "USDA's role - along with our partners - is to ensure individuals do not fall through the cracks, and can access nutritional services with dignity and respect."
我不知道这种狗屁文章是什么判断标准。但是我肯定按照这篇文章的判断标准,中国至少有10亿人是吃不饱的
美国的穷人不是吃不饱,是饮食不健康吧
1/4的儿童饿肚子我绝对不相信,真到那个份上美国还不天天上演枪战抢吃的
请JY们科普"我看"绝招

先不论什么人,你自己看了吗?哪里有数据说明25%的儿童吃不饱饭?能不能回复的有意义的话。老陷入和以前意识形态一样的讨论中去。

版主:你的新闻标题可能有误,估计是说1/7食物不安全家庭中的25%的家庭有小孩吃不饱饭。。。4.1%/14.6%?....

另,这个是通过问卷调查的来。。。具体数据可以见链接http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications/ERR83/ERR83AppA.pdf

饿肚子的是1.6%的儿童(children are hungry)
以美国人那种身材,吃不饱唬鬼哦
版主错了 美国农业部错了  中国的每个一夜美国人都可以证明美国人民生活的很好没有饥饿
美国穷人普遍超重.什么会吃不饱??我不信.
美国去年4900万人遭遇饥饿问题http://www.sina.com.cn  2009年11月17日 环球时报
  环球时报特约记者王启超报道 美国政府周一表示,2008年度逾4900万美国人面临饥饿问题,约占全美人口的七分之一,为联邦政府“粮食不安全状况”调查启动14年来的最高人口数字。

  据路透社17日报道,虽然美国农业部长维尔萨克表示,食品券等计划缓解了经济衰退的冲击,但抗击饥饿问题的组织指出,2008年美国面临饥饿问题的人口数量较前年大幅增加;2007年约有3620万美国人无法获得充足的粮食,其中三分之一偶尔会挨饿。

  维尔萨克告诉记者:“调查表明,如果没有我们使用广泛的食品援助计划,情况可能糟糕很多。这正是吸引公众注意该问题的好机会。”

  去年,约有14.6%的美国家庭“因资源限制,在为所有家庭成员争取食物方面存在困难”,相当于4910万人,家庭比例较2007年上升3.5个百分点;2007年美国粮食供给不安全的家庭占11.1%。

  约有5.7%的家庭,或1730万人的粮食安全水平“非常低”,意味着部分家庭成员食品不足。美国农业部称,这些家庭在去年七、八个月的时间里会有几天面临食品短缺。

  美国总统奥巴马称,这份农业部报告“令人不安”,并誓言要扭转饥饿人口上升之势。他在声明中称,“我们孩子成长、学习与充分发挥潜能的能力——乃至我们国家未来的竞争力——都有赖于稳定而健康的食物供应。”
根据"food insecurity"的定义,本人一年中有很多时候都处于这个级别。

另外USDA明确说"food insecurity"不等于"hungry"。
老美大胖子一大堆,这些人的食物消耗量远大于中国人的平均水平。我们吃饱了人家才半饱!
胖子热量消耗多,当然不容易吃饱。
这个!!!!体制党!JY们是不是该出来说点什么??
听说美国今年粮食又大丰收了
美国农业部应该关系肥胖问题和垃圾食品问题。

按照老美的标准,你每天也处在饥饿当中:D;P
有趣的帖子,看出了中美的差距
回复 26# chchc
差距就是美国人大部分时候中餐和晚餐以汉堡、热狗、三明治这样的垃圾食品为主食
有趣的帖子
报道应该不会有假,关键是标准问题。~~
缺乏 健康食品 但垃圾食品不缺 ,中国是传统观念 虽然食不厌精脍不厌细 上不封顶 。但下也不保底 玉米 豆渣。猪伺料  。果腹即可 ,精神第一


人家的标准直说就是,哪天你因为上月工资花的差不多,下月工资还没领,于是乎不去KFC而是回家煮泡面,你就成了"food insecurity"。

哪天你一掏兜,发现剩下的钱只够买小碗炸酱面,你那天又干了不少活很饿,去银行取钱又心疼(准备给家里寄)于是乎你就对付吃了小碗面,晚上肚子空点过了一夜——那么这一天你就处于"very low food security"状态。如果你哪个月吃了一月泡面吃得营养不良了也属于这个状态之内。
