The New Face of Hunger

Millions of working Americans don’t know where their next meal is coming from. We sent three photographers to explore hunger in three very different parts of the United States, each giving different faces to the same statistic: of Americans don’t have enough food to eat.

Psychologie de l’assiette Peut-on lire dans le fond de l’assiette la personnalité de celui qui l’a saucée ? La formule « Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai qui tu es », est-elle aussi fumeuse qu’une cuisse de poulet grillé ? Investigations entre la table et le divan pour une réflexion mi-prise de tête, mi-prise de bec. Voilà plusieurs jours que vous avez une folle envie de kaki. Que les mâles se rassurent, pas besoin d’être boostés aux oestrogènes pour saisir ce qui nous fait du bien. Et quand on a toujours envie de frites c’est parce que notre organisme a un besoin constant de graisses saturées ? « Nous sommes naturellement équipés sur un plan physiologique et psychologique pour pouvoir manger de façon intuitive, ajoute le psychiatre Gérard Apfeldorfer dans le magazine Psychologies. D’autant que l’on ne mange pas toujours pour se nourrir mais aussi pour partager un acte social ou pour répondre à une émotion. « L’alimentation, c’est être rassasié physiologiquement et prendre du plaisir, précise Florence.

DIVIDED AMERICA: Town and country offer differing realities ROCKY FORD, Colo. (AP) — From where Peggy Sheahan stands, deep in rural Colorado, the last eight years were abysmal. Otero County, where Sheahan lives, is steadily losing population. Middle-class jobs vanished years ago as pickling and packing plants closed. She's had to cut back on her business repairing broken windshields to help nurse her husband after a series of farm accidents, culminating in his breaking his neck falling from a bale of hay. She collects newspaper clippings on stabbings and killings in the area — one woman's body was found in a field near Sheahan's farm — as heroin use rises. "We are so worse off, it's unbelievable," said Sheahan, 65, a staunch conservative who plans to vote for Donald Trump. EDITOR'S NOTE — This story is part of Divided America, AP's ongoing exploration of the economic, social and political divisions in American society. In Denver, 175 miles to the northwest, things are going better for Andrea Pacheco. Hendren is effectively homeless.
