We need more than private charity to feed the world

In brief

Mike Huck uses a visual demonstration to explain the role of government versus private charity in addressing global hunger. When speaking to Catholic groups, Huck places nine grocery bags on a table to illustrate the distribution of food resources.

He asks his audience to identify how many of those bags represent food provided by Church food pantries and other private agencies compared to the percentage provided by the government. Huck uses this technique to highlight the politics of hunger and the scale of different food sources.
