INSECURITY STINKS

The USDA yesterday reported that one in seven households are struggling to put enough food on the table! This statistic is for 2008 and I fear it has only worsened with a slowing economy and higher unemployment in 2009! It was also reported that one in four children are not being adequately feed!

This means that about 49 million Americans or 14.6% of U.S. households are suffering what the USDA calls, “food insecurity” – not having enough food for an active, healthy lifestyle.
