Abstract
Until recently, few people realized that an estimated ten million people in the United States are chronically hungry. This is a distressing and a disgraceful fact, and one which exposes problems of unbelievable complexity; so complex, in fact, that until 1964, there had been but minimal effort even to understand these problems, much less meet them with commitment and imagination. It has always been expedient to dismiss the poor as shiftless and irresponsible, or to incant the American shibboleth that anyone who wants to work can automatically participate in the vast wealth sur-rounding him. Too few have been aware that poverty is often caused and perpetuated by circumstances totally beyond the control of the impoverished,and that only the luckiest and bravest escape.
