Breadline USA - The Hidden Scandal of American Hunger and How to Fix It (Paperback)

Twenty-five million Americans nearly 9 percent of the U.S. population rely on food pantries. Another 13 million aren t linked to a food distribution network, and 14 million children are at risk of going hungry on any given day. Moreover, the faltering economy is increasing the number of American families that don t know where their next meals are coming from."Breadline USA" treats this crisis not only as matter of failed policies, but also as a portrait of real human suffering. Investigative reporter Sasha Abramsky focuses attention on the people behind the statistics the families caught up in circumstances beyond their control. "Breadline USA" is a vivid reminder of the fate to which many more Americans may be subject without urgent action."
