Some are, many are not. Because these figures/statistics are Averages. There are a surprising number of "poor" people in California - as well as a lot of very "rich" people. When you lump them all together and divide by the total Number of people, you get that Average.
But those "statistics" aren't even true numbers. They take a "statistical sample" (a small number of examples), measure their food consumption base upon voluntary surveys, and then multiply those numbers out by the total estimated population count. And then, to get that "average" they divide the total figures by that estimated population count. The margins for errors increase every time they ... guesstimate!
Statistics? An ... intellectual way to lie.
And the State of California is quite HUGE. It's total land mass and population is greater than most any Country in Europe, and also of most Countries in the world.
Personal note: I apologize for bringin up political issues. But I am far from one of the "uneducated/unwashed masses driven by base emotions". I ... survived ... the University system with the ability to think for myself. And I have studied politics, religion, and economics in many different countries over many past centuries. I am not the "common man", nor will I ever be just a "cog in the machine". But I am ... just one man ... with one opinion to share. Take it as such.
