And those people are more or less fed with the food bought with those food stamps. Actual malnutrition is vanishingly rare in the US.

Yes, they might not get the most nutritious or balanced diet but they get the calories they need, oftentimes too many.

This is exactly the kind of moving target the parent is complaining about. Pretty much everyone is fed. But people then move the goalposts and pretend the progress didn't happen because they're not fed nutritiously enough or it requires too much work, etc, etc. I'm not denying that there's more work to do but it's folly to pretend that western nations have not more or less solved hunger compared to the situation even 50yr ago.

The US was the first country in history to end the specter of famine. This happened in the early 1800s as a direct result of capitalism. By the end of the 1800s, US citizens were the best fed in the world. Even the poor had access to fresh vegetables (thanks to railroads).

You can see this in the statistics for average height, which shot up all through the 1800s. Other countries did not really catch up until after WW2, and then only when they turned to capitalist agriculture.
