World food day
Most of us are here at Marilu.com because we’re trying to lose weight or maintain weight in a healthy way. We tend to be focused on ourselves and our own struggles with the abundance of food we have available to us, and the difficult choices that abundance presents.
Most of the people in the world don’t have enough to eat. They can’t imagine our struggles with abundance.
Today – or this week – take some action to help those who don’t have enough food.
- Contribute something to your local food shelf (bonus points for calling ahead to see what they need right now).
- Send a check to one of the organizations that feeds the hungry around the world. Don’t know any organizations? Check out Bread for the World and Heifer International.
- Volunteer in a soup kitchen.
- Sign a petition that supports ending hunger as a United Nations priority.
- Remind your friends and neighbors that they can help, too.
