36 mil Americans, as we speak, are living hungry. We need to not only raise awareness or give a charitable response, but also to address the root causes of hunger which are poverty, inequality, a gap between the rich and the poor, lack of educational opportunity, lack of employment, insufficient control of the price of basic staples, and an overall attitude or disconnect by the society which finds it comfortable in a state of where some have more than they need and others have little and not enough. Children go to bed every night hungry.
