Hopefully this fellow is on the up and up and this good cause gets going. With the amount of food we waste on this planet and all the space to grow food NO ONE should ever go hungry.

Only greed keeps that cycle going..greed, control and power of the wealthy.

I would like to see some changes this way and hope that Mr. Phelan's plan works. Everyone should have access to the basic things they need.
