What’s the source that they were hungry? Why would they be with all of the
government and private programs? I certainly don’t see emaciated people
walking around, except for the occasional homeless person who looks like he or
she is high on crack or something. As i understand, meth users sometimes go
for long periods not even wanting to eat. BTW: People who lived through the
Great Depression and experienced calorie deprivation, out-lived the more
affluent in the population who had access to as many calories as they wanted.
Humanity gets too many calories generally. Calorie restriction is the best
thing that one can do to prolong health span and life span. Generally, poor
people are more likely to be over-weight than more wealthy people. Another
birder and I have noted the difference in average girth inthe Walmart and
Sprouts stores across the street from each other in Sahuarita. That written,
I’m not going to fast often. Taking an NAD booster, like nicotinamide riboside
(a B-3 variant), mimics the effects of calorie restriction (and yes I think it
should be handed out by the govement like Halloween candy). My salted carmel
ice cream awaits...
Preventative health care or dental care are things that poor people often lack.
Anyway, I’m signing off on the topic.
All the best.

Jeff, you’re correct in that it doesn’t mean they were “without food.” But
those that “experienced hunger” were, by definition, “necessarily hungry,”
which is to say that they didn’t have enough to eat – more precisely, they
didn’t consume an adequate number of calories based on government guidelines.
How else could you possibly interpret it?
