Feeding the Poor

Food is perhaps the most basic right a man, woman, or child can have in a civilized society. Take a look at an article from The New York Times on the growing use of food stamps in the United States of America.

This article is disturbing in that it reflects the growing acceptance of widespread poverty. Programs to help people purchase food are good; the economic disparity between rich and poor, and the lack of provision for the needs of all people, that necessitates such programs is a serious problem, and one that seems increasingly accepted.
