Comments on: Dying Of Hunger In America: News From The Fourth World http://www.docgurley.com/2008/08/15/news-from-the-fourth-world/ Posts from an Insane Healthcare System Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:42:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Barbara Quick http://www.docgurley.com/2008/08/15/news-from-the-fourth-world/comment-page-1/#comment-6814 Barbara Quick Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:24:09 +0000 http://www.docgurley.com/?p=545#comment-6814 Dear Doc Gurley, I know that many people in the U.S. are now in the process of planting vegetable gardens. Is there a way that those excess tomatoes and zucchini and all the other lovely veggies that over-produce in the home garden could be funneled into local food banks? (And, come to think of it, all the fruit on home fruit trees that so often ends up rotting on the ground.) Could we start a movement? It would be lovely to think of all those hungry, nutrient-deprived men, women, and children in the big city getting the benefits and pleasure of eating garden-fresh produce. Storage and logistics present problems, I know. Maybe some of your other devoted readers will help think of solutions... Don't forget, please, to take a bit of time to enjoy the spring (in between saving the world). Brava to you, Doc Gurley, for caring so much and working so hard! Dear Doc Gurley,

People who can tell the story of hunger in America with relevance, compassion, and a sense of urgency. We will not see major changes in this nation until people take collective action.
