		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A new U.S. Department of Agriculture report shows that the number of Americans now reliant on the government&#8217;s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to stave off hunger has skyrocketed to 45.8 million in May of this year.  That&#8217;s up a whopping 34% from May 2009.
