Dear Maharajas, Devotees and Matajis:
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All Glory to Srila Prabhupada.
Please try to get involved if you can...
October 15-21 will mark the annual observance of Feed the World Week (FWW). During this week, Food for Life volunteers and concerned vegetarians in over 60 countries will serve out more millions of karma-free vegetarian meals to the world!
Feed the World Week is based on a simple principle: For one week, the world should experience a wholesome, nonviolent, karma-free diet, and thus pave the way for a peaceful and hunger-free world.
Feed the World Week is an open community event for raising awareness of the world's chronic hunger problem that has seen, for example, 300,000 children die in Northern Korea in one month.
Feed the World Week is a call for action, for the world to move away from the meat-based diet—that robs the earth of vital resources and leaves billions homeless and hungry. "Most non-vegetarians are unaware," explains Paul Turner, Global director of Food for Life, "that more than 70% of the world's grain production is fed to livestock destined for slaughterhouses. That same grain could feed humans. Every year, millions of children in the developing world die from hunger, alongside fields of fodder destined for the West's livestock."
In an attempt to correct this imbalance of the earth's resources, Food for Life volunteers daily distribute fifty thousand karma-free meals to the needy of the world!
During Feed the World Week, we share vegetarian we share vegetarian food in remembrance of the world's 1.3 billion hungry. "The fact is," says Turner, "if Americans reduced their meat consumption by 10 percent, enough grains would be saved to feed sixty million people!"
