- The number of “poor” has risen from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 15.1 percent today;

- In at least 314 American counties,a minimum of 30 percent of children live with daily food insecurity;
- School lunch programs are an indispensible part of the daily food intake for more than 20 million children;
- More than 45 million Americans live on food stamps;
- Since the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007,the number of people on food stamps has jumped 74 percent;
