Hunger in America Growing At Staggering Pace
It's hard to believe, but one in seven Americans – 15% of the country – now need government-provided food stamps simply to survive. ... Nearly 46 million Americans receive food stamps out of a population of some 311 million people. That's the highest number on record. ... The continued high unemployment and the weak U.S. economy have contributed to the explosive growth of the food stamp program – with no end in sight to the monthly increases. – CNN

Where are the morons who want to cut unemployment? Don't you want to cut this too?
we make all this pet food can't we make some cheap kibble to feed the hungry
my cats food is healthier than McDonalds crap
What makes you think the poor don't already eat pet food? It's been done before, and by the elderly as well.
We could have ended the hungry and homeless a long time ago but some people saw it as 'handouts', social programs and such and killed the idea.
Just read the threads about such things and you will see the mentality.
