"homeless" news and stories

The post-election red-state, blue-state congressional brouhaha is just beginning, but at the moment, the White House is mostly green, as in the First Lady's thumb. More than a ton of vegetables were harvested from the White House Kitchen Garden, for the second year in a row, reports the blog Obamafoodarama. And this year, 55 different types of food were grown. This for only $200 worth of seeds. Michelle Obama is a mighty gardener, but she wasn't out there weeding alone (or keeping the bees that produced more than 100 pounds of honey). In addition to a garden staff, there were plenty of schoolkids that helped to dig in the dirt. And who's eating the bounty? The First Family, of course. But much of the harvest was donated to Miriam's Kitchen, which provides food for the homeless. And that is a seed well sown.

With people being ever more likely to check the nutritional information on a product before they eat it, these ads mentioned at AdJab, are meant to point out that not everyone has access to the nutritional information of what they're eating. In this case, the ads refer to the homeless. The idea behind the sticker is that it contains the nutritional information for one "can" of food, with a message at the bottom to "help the homeless." The url that it gives does not actually exist, but it's an interesting way to present the message.

I would say something snarky about how that nutrition label would have to be revamped if it appeared on a bin outside of, say, a fast food joint, but feeding the hungry and/or homeless is nothing to joke about.
