CNNs Anderson Cooper and Fox Newss Shepard Smith were among those in the media who -- in the midst of chaos, death and despair on the streets of New Orleans -- reported the facts as they were from the ground, spun the spin right back in the face of government officials, spoke from the heart, and became advocates for the thousands who waited helplessly at the Louisiana Superdome and elsewhere for food, water and other bare necessities.

I feel like I was kind of looking for purpose when I was younger and I always wanted something wild and something just full of I just wanted my life to be very full.

2010-08-20 Letter - Access to Healthy Foods

Right now, too many Americans are forced to get by on the high-fat, low-nutrient food available at local corner stores or fast-food restaurants. In these communities, efforts like the proposed federal Healthy Food Financing Initiative would help new grocery stores open or corner stores expand to include more healthy, affordable food options.

But for many people living in low-income neighborhoods or communities of color, eating healthy is simply not an option. More than 23 million Americans - mostly poor people and people of color - live in communities without a nearby full-service grocery store or farmers and rsquo; market.

Cost of healthy living is rising

The month-on-month rise of 1 pct. in food and non-alcoholic drink prices was a record rise for June to July, the Office for National Statistics said.

Linda Yueh, a fellow in economics at Oxford University, said that some food had risen in price by 50 pct. in recent times, owing to issues such as adverse weather conditions in places such as Russia.

But with food accounting for about 12 pct. of household spending in the UK, it was important not to overstate the effect of food prices, she said.

2010-08-12 School nutrition bill just common sense

In 2008, the latest year for which data is available, 16. 7 million children lived in households that were not always able to provide enough food for all family members. The number of households overall that experienced this problem shot up 11 percent from the year before, and was the highest since food security surveys began in 1995. That was 2008. Since then, the unemployment rate has jumped. It is fair to assume that today even more kids are living in homes in which food is not always available.
