Food For Thought

A young friend of mine sent me a link to the site HomessNation.org ‘by and for the homeless.’
It’s worth opening the link to follow the entire sequence of photos and numbers, but here are the highest and lowest.
Germany: The Melander family of Bargteheide
Food expenditure for one week: 375.39 Euros or $500.07
AND
Chad: Chad: The Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp Food expenditure for one week: 685 CFA Francs or $1.23
Stunning of course. While our not eating won’t put more food in the bellies of the Aboubakar family, our paying attention to food policy and US policies on agriculture, import/export laws will.
