Feeding the world is an achievable dream

Recently, while watching television, I saw Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals talking about an idea that is so easy it could change the world: It's possible to save a child's life for $9 per month.

Organizations feeding starving children have long needed a celebrity spokesperson. Now they've got one. They just needed a better channel, time and program, like "Monday Night Football."

If all Americans ages 18 to 64 would give just $9 per month, the whole world could be fed. Of course, Feed The Children would need a few more employees.

In all due respect, Mr. VonCannon, if all Americans would spend less time listening to the drivel that television commercials spew, get off the lemming train, take care of their own, and let nature take it's course (does survival of the fittest ring a bell?)....perhaps we would have a world filled with stronger people. Food for thought?
