Food for Thought : 1 in 20 Latinos Hungry
20 Dec 2006
While many Latino families in the United States are cooking up huge holiday meals, a staggering number of Latinos are going hungry.According to the National Council of la Raza 5% of Latinos in the U.S. are hungry and one out of 5 or 20% do not have access to nutritious food. Such statistics are expected in so called third world nations. The fact that these numbers exist here, among our neighbors should be a reminder of the third world within that exists.
