There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed. Gandhi We are a wasteful, selfish people. We are. Quit sputtering, calm down, and allow reality to be your perspective. Did you know that in the U.S. alone we waste 96 billion pounds of food? Food that is edible. In Europe and the U.S. half of all prepared food gets thrown out. If, out of the food that was thrown away, only 25 percent was recovered 20 million people could be fed. While it is true we can't send our bread to Africa (it would get moldy before getting there) it is true that each of us, within our own communities, can help to alleviate the hunger problem. Yes, even in Africa or India or wherever poverty is highlighted because of the intense need. How do I know that even in the third world developing countries the hunger need can be alleviated? Because greed makes its home in all countries, not just the seemingly rich ones...
