I started giving more than I could reasonably afford to charity each month (meaning no Starbucks for me...that isn't even a REAL sacrifice!) I think everyone should pick a cause and at least set up an amount each month to give... it would make SUCH a difference in the world.

Along with the excellent work of Compassion, I'd like to also mention my favorite charity, Heifer International. They not only help provide people with food in the form of livestock and agricultural training, they teach them how to sustainably produce food from locally appropriate resources--no more reliance on food for the poor from countries half a globe away.

I know we communicate through food, but as people who read my personal blog, or people who know me offline, can attest, this post is truly, heavily, up my alley, for lack of a better phrase. Thank you so much for this post. I think about this a lot, particularly on my gluttonous days, when I eat to my heart's content. I feel badly because I know that there are millions in the world who would be overjoyed to eat a quarter of my meal. I will donate to Compassion right now, without a doubt.

The answer is people need to voluntarily stop or cut down on eating meat. Any amount to cut is good, but obviously more quicker is better. it is going to get worse before it gets better. and it is already affecting people in the U.S.A.
