The Plight of the Hungry American Poor: from a sob-story on NPR. Obviously this works better as radio.
"The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries -- $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight.

Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles. - For Some Ohioans, Even Meat Is Out Of Reach : NPR
