shareDoes anyone know what percent of the U.S. budget goes towards military spending and what percent of the same budget is spent on feeding hungry Americans?
shareIt usually isn't that easy to get benefits in the U.S. either. A lot probably depends on where you live, though. In the state I live you have to be disabled for one year before you qualify for Medicaid, but in places like New York they can just be low income with no disability and get Medicaid.

I would also recommend Fast Food Nation (2006) and the book by Eric Schlosser
