A new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows more Americans are going hungry.

USA TODAY reports, forty-nine million people in American households one in six  went hungry or had insufficient food at some point in 2008, the highest number since the government began tracking the problem in 1995.

Twitter users in the United States are wondering why they don’t hear more about this. Some users are being thankful for what they have in these tough times.
