True enough.  But the important thing is the food.  My
parents are from India, and I've spent enough time
there to understand hunger - real hunger - at least at
a distance.  The important thing is the food.  My
great-grandfather used to stand at his front door
every evening, and as people went by he would ask them
if they had eaten a good meal that day.  If not, they
were invited in for dinner - no matter who they were,
what they were wearing, it didn't matter.  They would
not go hungry.  Why did he do it?  I have no idea - he
died before I was born.  But to this day people are
alive because he fed them, and that's what matters.
