Recently I have been feeling this way because of a tailgate I attended. I was looking around at everyone having fun eating and drinking themselves like they didn't have a care in the world. Right then I witnessed a homeless person digging through a trash can. Lets just say we put a lot more food on the grill than anyone at the tailgate could eat....it felt really good to do something for someone and this is just the beginning.

Unfortunately, in many places where poverty is most severe, governments or people trying to grab power are actively keeping food from the people who need it. I can't imagine that kind of evil but know it does exist. Karen,

You have a valid point. Unfortunately, in many places where poverty is most severe, governments or people trying to grab power are actively keeping food from the people who need it. I can’t imagine that kind of evil but know it does exist.

We certainly seem to have a glut of food in the US. I often wonder if there really is enough food to go around but it is just a matter of the logistics of getting it to those that need it.
