Feel Good Friday…The City that Ended HungerIt has been said that there is more than enough food produced in the world to feed everyone in it. The problem is with the distribution. And democracy. There is a scarcity of democracy that creates food shortages for people in places where there is plenty of food to go around. The link below will take you to an article about a city that declared an end to hunger. That one of the rights of citizenship is the right to eat. The article was written by Frances Moore Lappe’ who also wrote “A Diet for a Small Planet”. The city has over 2.5 million residents and used to have 20& of its children going hungry every day. Innovative programs cost the city less than 2% of its budget and manges to get the people fed. Isn’t it about time our own governments start taking care of citizens instead of perpetuating their own existence? Check it out here:
