BILL CRAWFORD — Phenomenal network combats actual hunger in Mississippi

Hmmm.
So, the measure of hunger we should be concerned about is death by starvation?
Somewhere in Mississippi children and seniors citizen are hungry. The statistics are overwhelming. Over 160,000 children, about one in four, struggle with hunger, the highest percentage in America. More than half of Mississippi seniors experience regular food shortfalls and almost half of those who are eligible for food stamps (SNAP) do not enroll.
A poor child gets sick and stays home from school so misses his or her free breakfast andr lunch. Oh, but there is food at home. Maybe not. The mother has to go to work and leaves the child with her mother. The poor grandmother, who is having to skip meals herself, isn’t expecting to keep the child so no food is available. Oh, but that’s only for a day or two. No one will starve.
