Possibly closer to 20%. http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hu...

But the point still stands: implying "India has to get its house in order, but America's solved enough problems to be morally justified pursuing the deeper mysteries of the universe" is a pretty arbitrary drawing of a line in the sand.

20% in 37 states are food insecure, which apparently is some new term to do with nutritional requirements, I assume that means they are eating junk food. Pretending children are starving in the US makes India look better but is dishonest.
