How many people are actually food secure in the US?

http://www.ers.usda.gov/briefing/foodsecurity/stats_graphs.htm

This website from the United states Department of Agriculture shows food security in the United States through graphs and statistics for the year 2010. Food security means households had access at all times throughout the year to enough food for a healthy lifestyle for all members of the family. The site also shows the number of food insecure families living in the United States during that time. Food insecurity means at some times during the year, the household had a difficult time or was unable to provide enough food to meet the needs of all members of the family. This was due to low income or insufficient resources for food.

Check out these statistics and take action against hunger in the United States.
