There's a hunger problem on America's college campuses

Montclair State University's food pantry is tucked away down a maze of hallways in the student center. Like the hunger problem on campus itself, the pantry is not quite out in the open. It opened on the New Jersey college's campus in April, after administrators started hearing from students who said they were hungry and didn't have enough money for food. They surveyed students, finding that more than half said they or someone they know experiences "food insecurity" -- the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food. On one Thursday in December, 33 students visited the food pantry, taking what they need to help make ends meet. They left with bread, cereal, milk, spaghetti, canned vegetables, as well as personal items like shampoo and soap.

Thanks-we knew a lot of parents who were all into being their kid’s friend-especially the moms-it always sounded like a really bad idea to me...

"...I did learn a thing or two about edible plants though..."

I learned about smokeable plants!

I don’t know if that stuff really does kill brain cells, but I erred on the side of caution. I figured I don’t have any brain cells to spare. ;)
