"What's in the Lunchbox today!

So often, especially after I have had a good meal, I reflect on all those people who didn't eat that day. As a child, I was cajoled to eat all the food on my plate because of the unfortunate kids in Africa who didn't have enough food to fill their empty bellies.

Today, as we scurry about in our"megafood stores" with so many choices, I wonder if we think about the abundance in front of us and the resulting waste from having so much food? Statistics tell us that in ten years, over population will overwhelm even the most developed nations and FOOD, along with water will be scarce and highly sought after.

What are we doing now to preserve a world where everyone gets to eat at least one meal a day? We can begin by giving one third of our groceries to the local food bank and starting a home garden, or a community garden, and later a Victory garden when everyone in your family, neighborhood, and greater community has a meal everyday!

What's in your lunchbox?
