Nick Turse, TomDispatch.com: "The message is simple. Ever more Americans need food they can't afford. As tough economic times take their toll, increasing numbers of Americans are on tightened budgets and, in some cases, facing outright hunger. As a result, they may be learning a lot more about food banks and soup kitchens than most of them ever wanted to know. In recent interviews with TomDispatch.com, representatives from food banks - the non-profit organizations that distribute groceries to those in need via food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens - expressed alarm at the recent surge in need all across the country."
