Hunger in our nation is not something Congress and the administration can ignore, especially as they look at ways to reduce the federal deficit. We have the resources to solve the problem of hunger in our country, and yet it persists in large part because of a lack of political will. Perhaps it is because people do not understand the pervasiveness of hunger in our nation, or its tremendous toll on our economy and our future.
