Cooking Thought: August 10th 2012
We are in a horrific drought and this drought is going to cause food costs to skyrocket. Many, many, many families are going to be in need of basic food essentials and these needs will be met by food pantries but only if you donate. I’m begging all of our readers, where ever you are, […]
1 in 6
1 in 6 Americans are hungry. Yes, I know I’ve stated this fact before but Americans are difficult people to get through to sometimes. 1 in 6 Americans are hungry. 1 in 6 Americans are hungry. Do you understand me? 1 in 6 Americans are hungry. 1 in 6 Americans are HUNGRY! As part of my work […]

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. -Mother Teresa

A man not only needs to know how to fish, he needs to have the freedom to do it and a place to do it. That’s where community comes in. We have to help each other, and we feel government has a very important role therein. — Bill Ayres
No One is Too Poor to Help
Lately I’ve noticed politically correct people using the term “food insecurity.” It annoys me to no end. There’s no such thing as “food insecurity”- it’s called HUNGER. Hunger is an ugly word. We, as Americans, don’t like to hear the word and for some reason, we don’t like to deal with the problem. While that […]

I got extremely hungry, my blood sugar got all sorts of crazy and when you’re hypoglycemic this is not a good thing- I got dehydrated and have all around felt terrible. Fortunately I […]
