I think Shua is correct. I do not buy at all that there are more Americans than Chinese actually struggling to put food on the table.

Be that as it may, the wealthiest country in the world should not be content with 15% of its citizens needing food assistance.

America is not the wealthiest country in the world.

So? Nominal GDP is not helpful here. Luxembourg has a smaller GDP than Bangladesh but it certainly has less of a food problem.

Want to sort by GDP (PPP) per capita? Fine. A handful of micro-nations and then the US.
