Nov. 16, 2006 — A key government report on hunger in America has eliminated that word from its findings but not because there are no longer people in need of nutrition.
A U.S. Agriculture Department report finds the number of households that have difficulty feeding themselves fell from 11.9 percent of the population in 2005 to 11 percent.
But when describing those who don't get enough to eat, roughly 35 million Americans, there has been a change in terminology.
