Question

So who are the pennies of society? Those people nobody wants in their metaphorical pockets. Those people nobody wants to pick up when their laying on the ground. And I don’t mean lepers in India, but people who we can touch in our everyday lives.

Why is there hunger?

With more than 40 million acres of America covered in lawns, turf grass is our largest irrigated crop.

When addressing the issue of hunger here are some facts that should be considered. If we were to take only ½ of this 40,000,000 acres and devoted it to food production we would produce 212,420,000,000lbs. of food annually. The average American eats 1,500lbs. of food in a year. So then, if everyone in this country sacrificed only ½ of their lawn we could produce enough food to feed 141,613,333 people. To put that in perspective that is the entire population of Russia, or roughly 15% of the people on the entire continent of Africa. Think about it, if we all grew vegetable gardens instead of lawns we could grow enough food to feed almost ½ of the people in North America, or every starving man, woman and child in Africa with enough food left over to feed an additional 83,226,666 people. Just some food for thought, or is it some thought for food?
