AlterNet has an excellent selection from Joel Berg's book "All You Can Eat: How Hungry Is America" which describes the hidden yet pervasive problem Americans face daily, monthly, seasonally of getting enough to eat, with a combination of compassion, irony, and statistics to help us get our brains around the reality of hunger here at home.
