A few days ago I found a helping the hungry label on a granola bar company's box in my pantry. It got me thinking wow if every company did this we could actually make a big impact on ending hunger. But at closer inspection I noticed there was a code on it to put online to guarantee someone food. So just buying the product does nothing. It literally just encourages people to put in the code online, and then they will do it. For myself just noticing the code, if I have time, sure I'll go put the code in. But for most people they probably think buying the product they are doing their part, but in reality they aren't. I understand the idea but who is it really helping the people that need food or the company making profit. I think this entire system is bad, and needs to be fixed just imagine how much more food where ever it's going, if. Companies gave 5 servings of food for just buying the product, the difference would actually make a difference.
