Poverty Causes: Poverty Statistics & Facts | Feeding America

Poverty Causes: Poverty Statistics & Facts Feeding America

Working in nutrition, most of my clients are looking to lose weight. As we are surrounded by obesity and climbing health conditions, we forget that there are people who do not eat. We have both sides of the scale.

Even overweight people are in the category of malnutrition. Yes, you can be overweight and live in poverty. You can be working and hungry. We sometimes close our eyes and not see what is really there. Who are the hungry? Who really lives in poverty?

Personally I would hide from the facts myself, I would not want people to know I could not feed my family a good meal. There is so much behind the scenes that we only have the numbers but no faces to make it a reality to us.

  2. Like this blog because it cuts out the bullshit and tells it like it is.

  3. I dig this blog!
    It's really kind of a slap in the face about reality. Not only are the people without homes and jobs hungry, but people that are just like you and I are going hungry as well, and we'd never suspect it!
    More than anything, I hate knowing that someone is going hungry!

    Thanks for sharing.

Hello

It does not matter that my name is Hank, I am the homeless man you see walking to the meal that has no reservation.
My coat is all I have but it carries many necessities for this journey.
Makes no difference I made a living wearing a suit, I was not born on the street. My life twisted into a direction without a map or exit sign.
I do not shave but I try to keep as clean as possible, I do not look at people anymore, they do not exist to me here. I am the homeless man with no name; they turn their heads and carry on. I will not let them exist to me anymore. This is all I have, no more questions, no more tears, just the journey to nowhere.
Forgotten? Maybe!
Alive? Yes! Here I am God, waiting for the purpose of this journey.
I only exist to myself, so here I walk to the meal with no reservation... alone.
