Series: Food, Health, and the Environment

A radical and urgent new approach to how we can solve the problems of hunger and poverty in the US.

Most people think hunger has to do with food: researchers, policymakers, and advocates focus on promoting government-funded nutrition assistance; well-meaning organizations try to get expired or wasted food to marginalized communities; and philanthropists donate their money to the cause and congratulate themselves for doing so. But few people ask about the structural issues undergirding hunger, such as, Who benefits from keeping people in such a state of precarity? In The Painful Truth about Hunger in America, Mariana Chilton shows that the solution to food insecurity lies far beyond food and must incorporate personal, political, and spiritual approaches if we are serious about fixing the crisis.

Drawing on 25 years of research, programming, and advocacy efforts, Chilton compellingly demonstrates that food insecurity is created and maintained by people in power. Taking the reader back to the original wounds in the United States caused by its history of colonization, genocide, and enslavement, she forces us to reckon with hard questions about why people in the US allow hunger to persist. Drawing on intimate interviews she conducted with many Black and Brown women, the author reveals that the experience of hunger is rooted in trauma and gender-based violence—violence in our relationships with one another, with the natural world, and with ourselves—and that if we want to fix hunger, we must transform our society through compassion, love, and connection. Especially relevant for young people charting new paths toward abolition, mutual aid, and meaningful livelihoods, The Painful Truth about Hunger in America reinvigorates our commitment to uprooting the causes of poverty and discrimination, and points to a more generative and humane world where everyone can be nourished.

系列：食品、健康与环境

一个激进而紧迫的新方法来解决美国饥饿和贫困的问题。

大多数人认为饥饿与食物有关：研究人员、政策制定者以及倡导者专注于促进政府资助的营养援助；善良的组织试图将过期或浪费的食物送到边缘社区；慈善家们慷慨解囊，为这个事业捐款，并为此自鸣得意。但很少有人问及支撑饥饿的根本性问题，例如谁从保持人们处于这种不稳定状态中获益？在《美国饥饿的痛楚真相》一书中，María Chilton 显示，食品不安全的问题远超食物范畴，必须结合个人、政治和灵性等方面的努力，如果我们认真对待解决危机。 Chilton 深度挖掘了 25 年的研究、编程以及倡导工作，鲜明有力地证明饥饿是由权力人物制造并维持的。她带领读者追溯美国历史上因殖民化、种族灭绝和奴隶制而留下的原始创伤，迫使我们直面为什么美国人仍然容忍饥饿存在的问题。借助与许多黑人和拉丁裔女性进行的亲密访谈，作者揭示了饥饿体验根植于创伤以及基于性别暴力——这种暴力存在于我们的相互关系中，在自然世界中，甚至在自我之中，并且如果我们要解决饥饿问题，就必须通过同情心、爱与连接来转变社会。尤其对那些正在探索消除奴隶制、互助援助和有意义的生活方式的新一代年轻人而言，《美国饥饿的痛楚真相》一书重新激发我们根除贫困和歧视的决心，指明了一种更加富有创造性且人道的世界，那里每个人都能够得到滋养。
