About this title: In this study of soup kitchens and other nongovernmental programs that work to combat hunger and poverty, a sociologist asserts that such programs are insufficient to meet the needs of those they serve and are poor replacements for governmental support. She asks whether these well-intentioned efforts might actually serve to perpetuate the problem of hunger in America.

"This is an outstnding book that looks at the problem of hunger in the USA. She does not attack the current charity programs, but praises the workers for the work they are doing. She points out that charity is a band-aid and the the true answer to the problem will come through activism to solve it."
"Although a slow read and a little dated at this point (the book was originally published in 1998), this is a fascinating look at and critique of emergency food programs provided by private charities and our increasing reliance on such programs over government entitlement programs which, in principle, view a subsistence-level of nutrition as a basic right and not a matter for charity."
