用不着给你讲大道理,只给你讲一个事实。
饥饿是世界上任何一个国家都仍然面对的一个问题。
中国大陆在毛泽东时代人口从1949年底的5亿4千万增长到毛泽东逝世时1976年的9亿三千万。
美国同期人口从1949年的将近1亿5千万增加到1976年的不到2亿2千万。
但直至2011年的统计资料显示,美国仍然有将近百分之十五的人吃不饱饭。
************************************
1. 1 in 6 people in America face hunger.
2. Households with children reported a significantly higher food insecurity rate than households without children in 2011. 20.6 percent vs. 12.2 percent.
3. Food insecurity exists in every county in America. In 2011, 17.9 million households were food insecure.
4. 50.1 million Americans struggle to put food on the table.
5. In the US, hunger isn’t caused by a lack of food, but rather the continued prevalence of poverty.
6. More than 1 in 5 children is at risk of hunger
?Among African-Americans and Latinos, it’s 1 in 3.
7. Over 20 million children receive free or reduced-price lunch each school day. Less than half of them get breakfast and only 10 percent have access to summer feeding sites.
8. For every 100 school lunch programs, there are only 87 breakfast sites and just 36 summer food programs.
9. 1 in 7 people are enrolled in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Nearly half of them are children.
10. 40 percent of food is thrown out in the US every year, or about $165 billion worth. All of this uneaten food could feed 25 million Americans.
11. These seven states have statistically higher food insecurity rates than the US national average (14.7%):
?Mississippi (19.2%)
?Texas (18.5%)
?Arkansas (19.2%)
?Alabama (17.4%)

你是真不知道,还是假不知道。我在美国住了五年,按照美国贫困与饥饿的标准,中国70%的人口还在挨饿。我现在加拿大就处在贫困线以下。 |
