Hunger in U.S. at a 14-year High

Shoot, sometimes I battle hunger and I'm 24, living on my own (I get lazy and don't go to work, reducing my hours and monies for that pay period). I can't imagine what it must be like for these millions of families with REAL shortage issues, that cannot be fixed by "not being lazy."

I really hope that in my lifetime I get to see the invention of food replicators (ala Star Trek). In one of the Star Trek movies they talk about how that was a turning point for the human race, where how to sustain living people was no longer an issue and we became free to focus on other (extra-worldly) problems.
