The article reports on the problem of hunger in the U.S. Representative Tony Hall (D-Ohio), just before leaving Congress in September 2006, sat in his office in Longworth House Office Building and thought of something that had stuck with him since a trip to Appalachia. He spoke to mothers who lived in a trailer park, who told him their kids were excited when they brought home food. He thought, kids should be excited about Christmas or something, they should not be excited about getting food. An estimated 33 million U.S. citizens, along with 800 million people around the world, do not get enough to eat.
