It is impossible to talk about hunger without talking about poverty. More than 32.3 million Americans are poor, most of them children. In fact, the United States has the highest child poverty rate of any industrialized nation.

One in every five American children is poor. Hunger strikes particularly hard at children. An estimated 12 million children in America are hungry or at the very edge of hunger today, because their families lack the money to buy sufficient food. Despite these alarming numbers, the problem of hunger is less visible here than in impoverished parts of the world.

Hungry children in America rarely die of starvation; instead, they tend to suffer from chronic malnutrition or under-nutrition, they are listless and tired, can't pay attention in school, miss more days of school and suffer from more childhood illnesses than their non-hungry counterparts. Childhood hunger can cause lasting impairments that prevent children from growing up to be productive members of society.

It would take 13 billion dollars a year to end hunger for all the Earth's poorest citizens. Of course that is not a trivial amount of money. But consider this fact: Every year, 18 billion dollars is spent on pet food in the United States and Europe.

Are we winning the fight to end hunger worldwide?
Yes. Thanks to you.
