Today, over 49 million Americans live in food insecure households. There are believed to be three main causes of poverty in the United States: poverty in the world; the operation of the political and economic system in the United States which has tended to keep people from poor families poor, and actual physical mental and behavioral issues among some people who are poor. More than 16 million, or almost one in five, American children are at risk of hunger. Preschool and school-age children who experience severe hunger have higher levels of chronic illness, anxiety and depression, and behavior problems than children with no hunger. Children and adults often rely on food banks to relieve hunger. Although there is no end in sight, many companies like ConAgra Foods and the Food Network are taking great strides against the the fight on hunger in the United States.
