Hunger Hits Home..

Red...I did get to watch "Hunger Hits Home" a documentary focusing on children who do not have enough food.  It is amazing that in California alone there is an estimated 2.5 million children who go hungry.  This was hard for me to watch and harder to understand how this can be possible in this country.  It may be impossible to make sure that all kids are always healthy or even educated, but to have a child go hungry is a sin and a shame for the entire country.  I hope others saw your post and were able to watch, even though it was hard to just not turn away.

Government is run by big business and hungry people of any age just don't matter.This is a capitalistic society,and therefore one must get a job in order to feed their own.Just how it is when it comes to living here.

Used to be people were in envy when you said you were an american,but you don't really get that so much anymore.It really is a shame that everyone with billions keeps waiting for the other person with billions to do something.No one wants to give up their cash,and so they just keep taxing the working poor to help with the burdens and it results in more poor,starving people.

Not an American but i'll have to see if it replays. I see it here too, I know friends of my kids have problems sometimes(they are upper elementary and high school) It is hard, food is costly and so is fuel. It's no easy task to feed a family these days, rising costs hit hard.
