    This short movie makes a powerful statement.

    I couldn't watch it all the way to the end (I'll try again tomorrow), but yes it's a very strong message and perhaps we can all do our small thing to help.

    Ok, finally watched it to the end...

    As can be seen during the film, that child with a grin as happy as it being christmas because she had a second hand chicken wing in her mouth said it all.

    We have adverts in the UK, give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach him to fish he'll feed his family for years. Teach, invest in agrigation/farming/hunting maintaining livestock... How much happier would this world be.

    For what it's worth as much as our (UK) government would like to say doesn't happen here, it does. Are you convinced it doesn't happen where you are?

    I'm going to stop now, simply because it's cheaper for me to use to the internet etc than it is to buy food for my dog. :(

    Well shucks - darn film keeps stopping...after much effort I got to watch 4 minutes out of 6 which I'm sure tells all. (meaning I got to see where the 2nd hand food went:( )

    Makes we want to send the link to all the Pro Life people...Instead of spending so much time fighting for the rights of the unborn - lets feed the kids we have now....

    EDIT: Found two more copies of the video and got to finish.

    Might have to send another check to the North Texas Food Bank so I can sleep tonight.
