With this being an election year, you've no doubt heard politicians and
pundits claim there is no such thing as hunger in America. They say it's
impossible because of the obesity rates, but the truth is 16 million children go
to bed hungry and many others eat unhealthy meals because theirs parents either
cannot afford or do not have access to healthy food.
The Food Network documentary "Hunger Hits Home" examines hungry in America
by introducing us to real families who have difficulty putting food on the table
and people working to stop hunger. The documentary is a touching eye-opener to
the reality of hunger and poverty in the United States. You can view the full
documentary below.
Poverty and hunger do not discriminate. Fighting poverty and hunger
shouldn't either.
What are you doing to help? Start by signing this petition to get our
elected officials to support federal nutrition programs. I did and I hope you
will, too.
