Abstract: A reference text for food and nutrition policy focuses on the role of the US federal food assistance programs and on various emergency food efforts that have been developed to deal with hunger emergencies existing in many US communities. Specific attention is given to evidence that hunger is once again a major and growing problem in the US. The text, gathering information from disparate sources, is intended to serve as a guide to the basic facts and vocabulary, the history of food assistance effor ts, and to evidence of the reemergence of hunger as a US problem. The 4 text chapters cover: the basic aspects of hunger and malnutrition and how federal and private programs are dealing with hunger; a chronological historical review of food programs developed to combat US hunger in the past; evidence for the reoccurrence of hunger in the US; and requisite programmatic and fiscal strategies for combating US hunger in the 1980's. Ancillary data and information are provided in 8 appendices. Personal comments by individuals and organizations concerning US hunger are entered in the margin of each of the pages of the text.

This important collection of essays, originating in a 1989 conference on the disadvantaged in American health care, provides incisive commentary on U.S. health care policy and politics. Examining public responses to health crises and analyzing the political logic of the American community, this volume charts the immobility of U.S. health policy in recent years and points to its disastrous consequences for the 1990s. Focusing on the particular needs of disadvantaged groups--the elderly, children, people with AIDS, the mentally ill, the chemically dependent, the homeless, the hungry, the medically uninsured--these essays develop strong policy statements. The authors describe the growth in U.S. health care programs, from Kerr-Mills to Medicare, Medicaid, and subsequent revisions, and stress the serious omissions resulting from incremental policy expansion, both in identifying disadvantaged groups and in implementing programs. They report the weakness of the U.S. health care system compared to systems of other technologically developed countries. Contributors. Deborah A. Stone and Theodore R. Marmor, Judith Feder, Alice Sardell, Bruce C. Vladeck, Michael Lipsky and Marc A. Thibodeau, Daniel M. Fox, William E. McAuliffe, M. Gregg Bloche and Francine Cournos, Lawrence D. Brown, James A.

In this era of eroding commitment to government sponsored welfare programs, voluntarism and private charity have become the popular, optimistic solutions to poverty and hunger. The resurgence of charity has to be a good thing, doesn't it? No, says sociologist Janet Poppendieck, not when stopgap charitable efforts replace consistent public policy, and poverty continues to grow.In Sweet Charity?, Poppendieck travels the country to work in soup kitchens and "gleaning" centers, reporting from the frontlines of America's hunger relief programs to assess the effectiveness of these homegrown efforts. We hear from the "clients" who receive meals too small to feed their families; from the enthusiastic volunteers; and from the directors, who wonder if their "successful" programs are in some way perpetuating the problem they are struggling to solve. Hailed as the most significant book on hunger to appear in decades, Sweet Charity? shows how the drive to end poverty has taken a wrong turn with thousands of well-meaning volunteers on board.
