Hunger in the United States is an issue that affects millions of Americans, including some who are middle class, or who are in households where all adults are in work. Research from the USDA found that 14.9% of American households were food insecure during at least some of 2011, with 5.7% suffering from very low food security.
Flat Earth (also known as the Flat Earth myth, flat-earthism, and less commonly platygeism) is the belief that the earth â which the vast, vast majority of the population imagine in their heads as this big spherical thing (or oblate spheroidal thing, pedants) is actually flat. (Or, at least, cyclindrical.).
The Earth is an oblate spheroid. That is, it is roughly a sphere, but the speed of its rotation causes it to bulge out near the equator   Due to the tremendous size of the â¦earth, the laws of perspective, and the relative closeness to the surface of the earth that we typically use as our reference point, the earth appears flat to us.
