In the wealthiest country in the world, almost 14 percent of households - that's 48 million Americans, including 14 million children - lack consistent access to affordable nutritious food. How can so much hunger persist in a land of such abundance? Abiding Hunger investigates the four-century history of this contradiction, from the Starving Time of Jamestown into the present day, when all those families relying on food assistance are routinely forced to choose between paying for groceries or other necessities like rent, utilities, and medical care - heartbreaking decisions that have been made even more impossible by recent delays and cuts to programs like SNAP.
In Part 1 of this conversation we spoke with the author of Abiding Hunger, Roger Thurow, who spent decades as a foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, covering humanitarian crises and hunger abroad. Join us for the continuation of this important discussion with Roger!
