The Hunger Site

My brother-in-law sent me a link to the Hunger Site (click on a button and a cup of food is donated to the hungry). Because Outlook wouldn't let the link through to me, I googled it and found, as well as a variety of hunger sites, a criticism.

Basically it says that donating food in this way doesn't help and may even be doing harm. Any thoughts from anyone?

In the past I visited the Hunger Site (and also free mammogram site) daily but drifted off as I do with my short interest span.

Life is never simple.

I don't agree.(sorry) If we all stopped doing our little bit would the Govt get up and do it for us? I don't believe so.

I also daily clicked the Breast Cancer site for quite a long time but the commercialisation ie spam emails was a nuisance and I stopped, saying to myself I can always start again another time. Right attitude? Undoubtedly not but if we all got it right all the time, we'd all be saints. We know we aren't.
