Hunger in America has a cost far beyond the human suffering. As this research outlines, the cost burden to our country is more than $90 billion, far more that it would take to ensure that no citizen is at risk of hunger.
While many people differ on various policy proposals, none would disagree that hunger has no place in our vibrant democracy. We hope that this landmark study will help the nation engage in a more public dialogue about the issue of the true cost of hunger in our midst, and the concrete and measurable steps that we can take to make America a hunger-free nation.
