Here is excerpt from the ad:

[ Why are the poorest people in the United States women caring for 
children? A surprising explanation from FOOD FIRST...and a powerful 
solution you can be part of: ]

  Should America be measured by three women CEOs in
  the Fortune 500
  ...or by 13 million women in deep poverty?


With all due respect to their career achievements and personal 
sacrifices, even one hundred women advancing in power would be 
insignificant compared to millions of American women now being shoved 
backward into deeper poverty. Increasingly, America's growing Hunger 
Class are women and their children.

For twenty-five years, Food First- Institute for Food and Development 
Policy, co-founded by Diet for a Small Planet author Frances Moore 
Lappé, has studied basic links between hunger and poverty in the 
developing world. Here at home, these connections are just as strong.

This, our second ad on poverty in the U.S., focuses on who is poor and 
why. It bypasses the conventional wisdom. But then, the conventional 
wisdom on poverty and the public policies based on it are simply wrong.

Join the fight against hunger. For more information contact foodfirst at foodfirst.org.
