Kristi Jacobson and Mariana Chilton on How Hunger Hurts Everyone

[Lady Freedom Returns]

June 28, 2013


Here in the richest country on earth, 50 million of us — one in six Americans — go hungry. More than a third of them are children. And yet Congress can’t pass a Farm Bill because our representatives continue to fight over how many billions to slash from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps. The debate is filled with tired clichés about freeloaders undeserving of government help, living large at the expense of honest, hardworking taxpayers. But a new documentary, A Place at the Table, paints a truer picture of America’s poor.

And please, if you get a chance, PLEASE Watch A Place at the Table! It will show a side of poverty that you may not really know!
