RE: A nationwide call to end hunger

I thought American college student already found that solution: boxes of ramen noodles alternating with bowls of corn flakes in water.

Henry Miller wrote that he tried to get invited to a friend’s place for a meal, and line up another friend for another night and eventually make enough friends to eat all month.

Not a bad strategy, at University we were a small tight knit group of scientist students most of us could cook but no one likes eating leftovers again and again so twice a week we would hold a potluck style dinner at the science lab building on campus everyone would bring in all their left overs eat and take what we wanted home with us from everyone elses. We all had research and projects to work on and were in this lab area in our private offices 6 days a week at night anyways.

I know I know dang commies but it helped us have much more beer money out of our grad student stipends when we were not wasting it on food uneaten. Cook two meals a week eat 3 others from the community pots and share yours that would have been trashed anyways. Plus it was a great way to try other cultures foods, we went so far as to have a request list and sign-up sheet for popular foods. Vietnamese,Korean and Indian were always popular, so was BBQ and Italian.
