A Place at the Table - 9781610391818

Forty-nine million people—including one in four children—go hungry in the U.S every day, despite our having the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all. The documentary Finding North examines this issue by interweaving the stories of three people who are struggling with food insecurity with insights from food experts and activists. The Los Angeles Times called it "moving… [it] forcefully makes the case that hunger has serious economic, social, and cultural implications for the nation."

Expanding on the film's themes, the book Finding North includes essays from food and hunger activists and reformers, outlining how to get involved now in innovative ways to reshape the American welfare system. Ultimately, it shows us how hunger poses a deep threat to our nation, and how it can be solved once and for all, if the American public decides—as they have in the past—that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all.
