"14 percent of American households (17.5 million households) are food insecure. If you don't know the definition of what that means, look it up. The income gap may be wider and growing faster here than in Britain."

The income gap in the US probably is larger than in the UK. And food insecure means that, at some point in the previous month/12 months (depends upon the measurement method) the household was not sure where the next few meals were going to come from. It really is a measure of the security of food supply, not of gaps in that food supply. Very useful at measuring what it says it measures.
