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.
It's been a good year and a half since I read a good book. I absolutely love to read. I have found myself with a little more free time recently so a friend let me take her Hunger Games series with me on vacation. Seej and I read the first one together. I am completely hooked. I'm on to number two, but I have a new food photography book that also just arrived and the two are competing for my time. I have both of them to get through not to mention number 3 in the Hunger Games series. It's comforting knowing I have good books waiting at my bedside.

This organization was formed "for the purpose of rendering assistance to the sick and disabled members of their society, and also of providing for the decent burial of the dead".

Immersion in this work invariably produces in me a profound sense of melancholy or lack. This, no doubt, is an intimation of the unconscionable loss...".
