To both of these statements my response is, yes it is moral to feed those who are in need, going to bed hungry does not promote a healthy way of life by any means. Also I like that you stated the working poor, many individuals using food stamps are working as hard as they can to make ends meet taking from Paul to pay for Peter has never worked yet our government cannot sink their thought process around this, someone needs to look at the issue holistically, what is the solution’s, in cities in Canada they have large community gardens that are free to plant n culture for the needs of its community, what if … is what I say imagine the possibilities if we actual came up with a solution versus fighting against who’s right and who’s wrong…Food for thought ..
