Sara said she noticed that in the U.S food is wasted while there are so many people around the world that are starving. In Pakistan they have a month where they don’t eat from sunrise to sundown. Sara said they did this because (they sympathize with the people all over the world who are starving?). The U.S. doesn’t do that.

    Fitchen talks about malnutrition in the United States, a country, which most people expect that it feeds its citizens well. She elaborates the cultural values and meanings that are attached to the opposition rich-poor on the image of a poor person buying a steak with a food stamp.

With such purchases, low-income people may seek to affirm that they can live like other Americans, and thus attempt to hide their hunger from the public. At the same time, these foods contribute to their malnutrition, and the public concludes that if poor people can eat steak, they must be neither poor nor very hungry.…
