Changing hearts and minds about food insecurity in the U.S. takes courage and love [Book review]
Year: 2025
Type: book-review
Abstract: First paragraph: The public health challenges associated with food insecurity in the United States are thoroughly researched and catalogued at regular intervals by public institutions, academics, and community-based organizations. The data provided is often used to design targeted interventions and advocate for policies to increase access to healthy foods, which are always worthy endeavors. Mariana Chilton’s mission in The Painful Truth about Hunger in America manages to take on this same project, while simultaneously working to transform the reader’s understanding of hunger in profound and personal ways in order to address the structural factors that produce hunger in America.
