But an American anti-hunger organization Share Our Strength is flipping the script with a campaign – Great Nations Eat, where representatives of China, Germany, and Slovenia describe the state of hunger and food insecurity in the United States, drawing attention to the fact that America has a greater share of undernourished people than China, Germany, and Slovenia.

Partly inspired by a survey that proves that over 49 million Americans are hungry and living in poverty, the aim of the campaign is to urge America to confront the hunger plaguing Americans. “This was really to try to think a little more disruptively to get people’s attention, to go right to the heart of the issue that people are not aware hunger is a problem in the United States,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Share Our Strength, Billy Shore.

Despite being one of the world’s wealthiest nations, quite a number of families in every community – 14.3 percent (17.5 million) households still struggle to put food on the table. “Hunger exists in every community and it affects the life of 1 in 6 Americans. That doesn’t happen in any other developed nation. It shouldn’t happen here,” said Billy Shore.
