Is there a hunger problem in the U.S. ? Yes...


However, throwing money at the problem will not fix anything.


Fixing the economy - Will.


Getting rid of the Federal reserves pump and dump cycles - Will.


Stop using corn for producing ethanol - Will.


Encouraging food independence and the return of "small farms & victory gardens:" - Will.


Of course doing these things would take the government and industry out of the equation and they worked hard to get it to this point. They will not give up easily.


From the article you quoted.


Quote:
The 18-item questionnaire asks about skipped meals and hunger pangs, but also whether people had worries about getting food. It ranks the severity of their condition by the number of answers that indicate a problem.

Right there is a problem, a big problem. It skews the whole questionnaire.


However, being that this is a assignment for school and you will be graded on it. I wouldn't use anything I mentioned above since colleges along with most universities and their staff are overwhelmingly liberal.


Your idea of investing most of the money and using the interest for science fairs is probably something they would approve of. Just throw a "few save the children" in the report along with "it takes a village" and you should be fine.
