    Hunger in almost all nations, including the Unites States of America, is caused by poverty or a host of things that interact with poverty. These causes can be, but are not limited to discrimination, lack of power, corruption of government officials, war, environmental overload, and scarcity of resources.

In America’s case, lack of power and corruption of government officials are not a problem anymore, but environmental overload and scarce resources are still problems today (Hauptmann, Cole).
