Hunger USA

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'We can take pride in 25 straight months of economic growth, the strongest in 34 years' according to President Reagan in his State of the Union address this February.
But a report published only a month later revealed that hunger has reached epidemic proportions across the United
States and 'is getting worse, not better'. Why are soup kitchens proliferating in the richest country on earth? Why are millions of Americans dependent on charity to feed their children?
Jean Snedegar reports from Washington, Detroit, Denver and West Virginia.
