"Donate just $1 a day and you could feed this child" should sound familiar to anybody who stayed up too late watching cable tv and saw ads trying to put an end to food insecurity around the world.

But in the fallout of the pandemic, it turns out that the United States has actually become a nation with a high rate of food insecurity. More than 60 million Americans were forced to turn to food banks to feed their families as the economy tanked throughout 2020.

And TV ads are starting to reflect that.

A German ad urging German citizens to donate and help "feed America" is going viral because of Americans' incredulity at the advertisement.

The commercial advertises that food accessible to a small American child could ultimately lead to more health problems, and urges viewers to donate money to help "feed America."

While the commercial was originally made as satire by Great Nations Eat, the ad did not use any false statistics—including that over 20% of Americans worry about food insecurity, whereas only 6% of Germans do.

Share Our Strength, the company responsible for the advertisement, said that the idea was to shake things up to get some attention across the globe.

Billy Shore, the CEO and Founder of Share Our Strength, said:

"This was really to try to think a little more disruptively to get people's attention, to go right to the heart of the issue that people are not aware hunger is a problem in the United States."

While a bit unconventional, the ad does deliver the message that America is probably not doing as okay as we once thought.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
