Lecture and Book Signing: Joel Berg's All You Can Eat: How Hungry Is America? All You Can Eat reveals that hunger is a problem as American as apple pie, and shows what it is like when your income is not enough to cover rising housing and living costs and put food on the table. Berg takes to task politicians who remain inactive; the media, which ignores hunger except during holidays and hurricanes; and the food industry, which makes fattening, artery-clogging fast food more accessible to the nation's poor than healthy fare. He challenges the new president to confront the most unthinkable result of US poverty""hunger""and offers a simple and affordable plan to end it for good. 7:00 p.m. St. Thomas University, Kinsella Auditorium, 51 Dineen Drive Fredericton, New Brunswick.
