Hungry?

If you’re reading a food blog, you’re probably hungry all the time. But I don’t mean the, “I could really go for a piece of dark chocolate cake with organic cacao nibs about now…” kind of hungry. I mean the hungry where you had a processed cereal bar for breakfast, skipped lunch and aren’t sure when, or if, you’ll have food before you go to sleep. The hunger that hurts in so many ways.

Nearly 17 million kids in this country – the richest country on the planet – struggle with hunger each year. One in four kids who live in families that lack the means to put enough nutritious food on the table. Those odds mean someone in your neighborhood, a child in your kid’s class, a coworker…all struggling with hunger.
