What does hunger mean to you? We all know physical hunger in varying degrees, of course. But hunger can be a longing for home and the food that represents it. Or, a quest for knowledge about a subject. It's a big word hunger. On today's show we look at the many forms of hunger. We begin by comparing a week's worth of groceries of thirty families around the globe. Then we take a look closer to home and see how rising food costs are affecting the American poor. Plus, pasta for a midnight meal and discover some exotic fruits.
