Thank you for an excellent and thoughtful article. I
especially appreciate the statistic about the number of hunger deaths on 9/11/01. I would like to use this in conversation with our friends. Could you clarify?

I think you’re saying that while there were nearly 3,000 people who died as the result of the 9/11 attacks on 9/11/01, more than 30,000 died of hunger on that same day. Is that correct? I want to get my facts straight before I start tossing this around. Thanks!

I agree that hunger relief is largely ignored even though it’s is a huge crisis. I do wish that this article had talked about possible solutions instead of saying that a policy change needs to happen. I agree, a policy change does need to happen, but what and how? The government is famous for making bad policies, and I don’t want to leave the solution solely up to it because I’m sure it will goof everything up even more. So what can average citizens do? I hate it that Cargill and other corporations are allowed to control us…how do we change it?
