- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013If hunger in America isn't an important issue, then I don't know what is.
One in four kids in America is hungry, without enough food every day. One in four.
We spend billions of dollars to subsidize farmers, but they are the producers of the wheat and corn and rice that goes to make the junk food industry, food that keeps those who live in poverty undernourished but obese. Poor people can't afford nutricious food, and even the very poorist who recieve food stamps must try to live on $3 a day worth of food. That means a can of soup every day, and a couple pieces of bread.
Hunger and poverty aren't issues we hear our politicians talking about, the way gun control, abortion, and gay marriage are hot topics that are frequently discussed. But among all industrialized nations, America ranks dead last out of twenty countries when it comes to hunger. When budget cuts get made in government, it's poor people who have the cuts made to programs that are there for them. They don't lobby, they don't have the voice. And there is this feeling that they deserve it. They are lazy, worthless, and don't deserve to have any help.
This was an eye opening documentary and I didn't feel bored for a second. I wonder if there are any politicians who have watched this, or who even care, about hunger in America. If there are I certainly haven't heard of them. This cast the Obama's in a favorable light, showing their efforts to enlighten others of thie problem. President Obama recieved food stamps as a child.
This was a great documentary which everyone in America should watch. How can the richest country in the world have so many hungry malnourished kids?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021In 2015, 50 million American's regularly went without food. Consider that the USDA spends 20 billion a year on subsidies for the wrong kinds of foods. Likewise, nearly 85% of U.S. subsidies, paid for by taxpayers, go to commodity crops such as cotton, wheat, corn, rice, and soy to manufacture unhealthy processed foods. Moreover, only 1% of the funds are dedicated to fruits and vegetables. Consequently, hunger and poverty in America have more than quadrupled in the past 40 years, and there is no end in sight.
A Place at the Table is a documentary about several different families living in America struggling to put food on the table for themselves and their families. And the struggle is getting worse. In short, you can learn more about the history of hunger in America with this informative documentary.
After watching this video for a college class, I think that we need to hold our representatives accountable for this ongoing problem. Together, we need to create solutions and stop worrying about people getting something for free. Ultimately, what is at stake here is our future. In other words, what is the cost of doing nothing?
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2013I have been waiting for this to premier. I am the director of an emergency food program. The pantry feeds several area families each week and the need continues to grow. We pray for the day that we will go out of business, because no one needs our help. In the meantime, I am grateful that artists put together documentaries like this. Our communities can be so segregated, that the rich can't begin to relate to the poor. When we solicit for donations, we have had people tell us that there are no hungry in our town. This film raises awareness regarding the responsibility that we have toward one another. We are to care for those who can't help themselves. The other day at the pantry, I spoke with a guest who had recently lost her job and was forced to turn to the food pantry for help. The kicker was she was very well-versed on the issue of hunger-insecurity. Before she fell on hard times, she worked with local food banks and pantries. Now she needed to visit one herself. They say we are all a paycheck or two away. The speakers in the film were right. The food pantries and food banks cannot and should not be the answer for hungry families in this country. We need to be considered temporary help. We need to encourage the government to responsibly fund legislature that would support families who can't quite make ends meet. Like the one gentleman said, if feeding the hungry isn't the priority, he doesn't know what is. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2013This film does an excellent job of showing correlations between policy and personal stories, as well as explaining phenomena which often seem mysterious to those who don't have experience with these issues and the people affected by them. For example, it links the agricultural subsidy system in this country to the skewed pricing of food, such that processed foods requiring heavy investment in manufacturing and treatment are more expensive than fresh, unaltered meat and crops. This in turn helps to explain why, in the words of one expert interviewed in the film, "hunger and obesity are neighbors." What I found admirable here was that while the issues surrounding food insecurity in this country were clearly explained, there was no specific set of policy recommendations made. The viewer is left with a clear moral and practical problem, which is that a significant number of people in the world's wealthiest nation routinely go hungry, incurring enormous personal and public cost. We are then required to think through for ourselves what solutions to seek and how to become involved. I hope that many who watch this powerful film choose to do just that, in whatever way they see fit.
