Bush's campaign for his party's presidential nomination last fall, reporters asked the candidate to comment on a federal government report asserting that many Texans, including large numbers of children, were going to bed hungry.

Wood explains as she explores the very pockets of hunger in Austin Bush has difficulty fathoming.
