Let's see, that is an estimated average of 1 in 6 in this state of 3 million who need food...Not a good figure.

That was my point but probably wasn't explained well. The nation as a whole (not each individual) is wealthy and privileged compared to so many others. Which means that we should be able to ensure that all citizens have health care, food, and basic shelter. Not only is the 1 in 6 in Oklahoma not a good figure, it is a national disgrace.
