Yes, we have all heard this saying before but do we do it? In my religion, it is expected of us to do this. I used to sponsor an event and feed people but I don't do it anymore. Instead, I donate the money to various charities instead of one cause.

So if we all feed one person maybe no one will go hungry? Yes, I truly believe that. My goal this year is to actually feed some people at least one meal.
