All You Can Eat

With the Biting Wit of Super Size Me and the Passion of a lifelong activist, Joel Berg has his eye on the growing number of people who are forced to wait in lines at food pantries across the nation-the modern breadline. All You Can Eat reveals that hunger-one in eight Americans today is food insecure-is a problem as American as apple pie, and that, more and more, America is becoming a country where people not only have a hard time advancing, but often find themselves in quickand, working inexhaustibly and still not meeting the expenses of everyday living.

Joel Berg is executive director of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger (NYCCAH). He served for eight years under the Clinton administration in senior executive service positions in the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
