the average poor person today has 3 wide screen TVs, an Xbox, a smart phone and air conditioning.
I'm not from the US but this is hard to believe, as "In 2012, 5.7 percent of U.S. households (7.0 million households) had very low food security[, e.g.] the food intake of some household members was reduced and normal eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year due to limited resources" (source: http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/us_hunger_facts.ht...).
...unless you want to argue that the persons in these 7 million households choose to starve to be able to afford three flat screens and an Xbox, but in that case I insist on a proper source ;)
