1 billion people are overweight.
Do you see the issue here? The Feed Foundation does. The organization was founded in July 2008 by Ellen Gustafson and Lauren Bush, and they hope to bring awareness and raise funds in three primary areas: food security (accessibility to safe and nutritious food), school feeding (providing healthy school meals for children), and healthy food around the world. They won me over when I realized that they not only want to provide food for developing countries, but also here in the United States in areas of desperate need.
The Feed Foundation has two initiatives- The 30 Project and the Hungry in America Project. The 30 Project's mission is to bring radical change in the food system- from our perceptions of the system, the way food is produced, to its unfair and uneven distribution. The Hungry in America Project is a social campaign to bring light to the immense problem of hunger in the United States, in conjunction with President Obama's pledge to end childhood hunger by 2015.
Lucky, FEED has created a simple, and fashionable (my favorite!) way to support- FEED Bags.
I have my eye on these:
FEED / READ 3 BAG - perfect for bringing home those new reads from the library
FEED DOP BAG - awesome makeup bag for weekend trips
FEED 2 BAG - the ultimate carry-all for school and work
Definitely lusting after these bags, and eager to invest in The Feed Foundation as soon as I get my next paycheck. You can also find FEED Guatemala bags online & in stores, as well as FEED USA bags in Gap stores nationwide.
