Hi folks,

I found this interesting article that demonstrates what can be done if people take a stand and then act upon it.

"Frances Lappé describes a simple initiative in Belo Horizonte, Brasil that eradicated hunger and reduced poverty by making adequate and healthy food a right for all, and then acting accordingly.

Frances Moore Lappé wrote this article as part of Food for Everyone, the Spring 2009 issue of YES! Magazine."

Here's the link to the article: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/03/13-9
