The minimum wage here in CA just went to $8.00 per hour. I'm not saying they are good calories or a great life, but no one is starving, unless by choice.

Wrong, Less. Wrong to the point of infuriating absurdity.
So, where do little kids get their money? Where do parents with very little money (some do exist) get enough to feed both their kids AND themselves? How do families with no cars (there are some) drive to McDonalds for their dollar menu feast?
There are no Ethopian style-famines here, but there is plenty of hunger in America.

P.S. But yes, of course, Hank is right that, across the U.S. population obesity is more of a health problem.
