And maybe it's inflated. Maybe it's 30 million. Maybe it's 25 million. Even if it's "only" 25 million, that's more than the entire population of Ohio who are food insecure every day. If you have another statistic I'd be glad to see it.<BR/><BR/>And it seems to me that, as a Christian, each of us should be concerned about even one person who is hungry. How else to interpret "When ever you did this to these the least of my brothers and sisters you did it to me" in Matthew 25? And St. James reminds us in his epistle, paraphrasing, "Look, it does no good to say to a hungrey person, 'Go in peace.' You need to act out your love, not just talk about it."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>RFSJRFSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164772153139719659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-39718711188689460852007-07-08T14:59:00.000-04:002007-07-08T14:59:00.000-04:00Get a life.

Do you really think commenting on a hot dog eating contest will have any impact on hunger in our country?<BR/><BR/>What does it say about us as a country? Not a blasted thing. Yes it is idiotic. <BR/><BR/>On top of that I question your statistic. Who says that “35.1 million people in the US do not know where their next meals will come from”? According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, 35.1 million represents 11.6 percent of our population. Applying that to the center of the universe, New York City, means that 945,500 inhabitants do not know where their next meals will come from. Are you telling me that one in every 9 people in NYC are in that situation?Troglodyteushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857794477598373164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-65884288803134118292007-07-05T18:25:00.000-04:002007-07-05T18:25:00.000-04:00Funny, I had the same thought.

Doesn't seem right...Maria Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154408953101118061noreply@blogger.com
