Too much food, not too little, plagues U.S. children

The other day, I heard a public service announcement, which had been recorded by First Lady Laura Bush, regarding hunger in America. In the announcement, Ms. Bush said that one out of four (or it may have been one out of five) children in America "face hunger" every day. The statement concerned me. There was no definitation of what to "face hunger" meant. I did some research on the Internet, and found an article on the web site of USAToday, the gist of which is that the problem is not hunger, but too much of the wrong kinds of foods.
