Hunger in America 2010 Video

Making Tough Choices

As you can see from the video above food insecurity is at an all-time high. The USDA reports that 49 million Americans struggle with food insecurity, that's 1 in 6 adults and 1 in 4 children who are at risk. Having this many Americans struggling with food insecurity means that these are our neibors, our co-workers at our jobs, people who we sit next to in church that could be struggling to find their next meal. All of us have to make tough choices in life but making the choice between food and gas, or food and perscription medication shouldn't be a choice we have to make living in the richest country in the world.
