Nearly 28 million US citizens depend on Coupons to eat, a situation constantly increasing because of unemployment and the high price of food, said Virginia, US newspaper- USA Today.
USA Today said difficulties to subsist are so many, that even people with a high cultural level cannot escape from then. "It is inconceivable to see myself in such a condition, especially when you have a pride," said Ohio resident Philomena Gist, a woman with a Master Degree in Psychology.
The newspaper said no one of the millions of people needing help to eat, should be placed in such a category, and the number of needed people goes over the record established in 1994.
While these US citizens are fighting for taking their homes something to eat, politicians are discussing other topics and economists debate if they are on a recession or not, said the US influential newspaper.
The costs of food and fuel are increasing since 2006, and now these phenomena are combined with loss of jobs, and the standstill of salaries, which rocketed the number of US citizens urged on a support.
