Of the 17.2 million households without enough food, about half (59%) get help from government programs.
There are 6.4 million households experiencing ‘very low food security’. Very low food security means: “…food intake of some household members was reduced and normal eating patterns were disrupted due to limited resources.”-USDA, report summary

The unincorporated U.S. territory of Puetro Rico, has one of the worst police violence records in the United States, that’s according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The DoJ report accuses the Puerto Rico Police Department of regularly: “…using force, including deadly force, when no force or lesser force was called for.”
The DoJ report says police officials reasons for the violence does not justify it: “Puerto Rico officials maintain that drug trafficking and social deterioration are fueling the wave of violent crime. However, increasing crime cannot be used to justify continued civil rights violations or the failure to implement meaningful reforms.”
One problem identified in the report was the use of swat teams for standard community policing. Puerto Rico has the second largest police force in in the United States.
A Kobe, Japan, private-sector group announced the results of their studies on sunflowers in the contaminated areas of Japan.
They grew sunflowers in 4 fields in Minamisoma City, within 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
They found that soil contamination was reduced between 20% and 50%. Radiation was absorbed by the sunflowers’ roots. The problem is that the sunflowers are now considered nuclear waste.
Researchers at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Kyoto University and other institutes say the actual radiation pouring into the Pacific Ocean, from Fukushima Daiichi, is at least three times what Tokyo Electric Power Company is officially reporting.
The researchers say that at least 15,000 terabecquerels (1 terabecquerel = 1.0 × 10+12 becquerels) of radioactive iodine-131 and cesium-137 has entered the ocean!!! They say TEPCo is not monitoring airborne radiation that falls into the ocean.
A woman lay belly-down on the floor of the Pimlico Race Course, handcuffed and beaten bloody by Baltimore Police. A man recorded the scene on his cell phone camera. Immediately the police grabbed the phone and erased the recording, including months of family recordings.
Now, thanks to the 1st Circuit of the U. S. Court of Appeals, which ruled that police business is public business, therefore can be recorded, the man who lost the recordings is now suing.
The American Civil Liberties Union is also suing: “It is antithetical to a democracy for the government to tell its citizens that they do not have the right to record what government officials say or do or how they behave in public.”-Deobrah Jeon, ACLU
