This may be a great poverty-fighting organization but beware ! Re BRAC
When I first noticed this organization in the article about the leader I thought it was great but then I looked at the website and I see the name George Soros and then also Bill Clinton who are very liberal and part of the problem with their poverty solution is that they think population reduction is necessary and of course they support abortion and I think that's exact opposite of the problem. we need more people not less, even though you think more people means less food for everybody, but actually it also means more people to support other people and to help on the farm and to do other jobs things that can create an infrastructure that helps everybody and alleviates poverty. So population control and abortion is not the answer and that's part of the problem with some of these so_called poverty fighting organizations . If they are associated with or George Soros or Bill Clinton, just beware and investigate further.

Re Latino family at McDonald's in Santa Nella California
I watched a large Latino family come into McDonald's and they ordered all the most expensive items on the menu including these expensive specialty drinks (that cost 2 or $3 sometimes even 4) their kids and they didn't pay cash of course . that's all paid for by the state . they get public assistance. food stamps and they get "hot meals benefits" . some food stamps recipients don't get hot meals . They can only use their food stamps in grocery stores to buy unprepared food. The poorest of the poor get hot meals & they can pay for anything using their food stamp cards @ fast food restaurants, and so they just Splurge & buy the most expensive things. The problem is that the hot meal benefits were intended for those who are really needy and can't even prepare their own food , but others are taking advantage of it and just using it for greedy reasons. Meanwhile I'm just agonizing over buying a $1.40 small cup of coffee, asking myself do I really need this? Is it really stewardly? can I get by without it? Furthermore those expensive specially drinks that are very unhealthy for the kids they're just full of sugar..

11/4/15 photos from the GLOBAL FOOD SUMMIT @ UCI
LOTS of great speakers, important information, and most importantly at a food summit, excellent food ! Seriously, it was a great lunch, and the speakers were spot-on ! One of the BIG TAKE-AWAYS among many was the IMPORTANCE of ALGAE...or how important it COULD BE if we as a society get informed and start pushing for it to be used in a large-scale way rather than alfalfa (which is using up millions of TONS of our water, and literally going to China ! ) If we use algae in a large-scale way we can SAVE A LOT of WATER, and also money, among other things.
and it's all about "FOOD SECURITY" ...a new term for me...just an average guy sitting amongst BIG BRAINS...(ie doctorate students & big-time professors from all over the USA) ...; there are a LOT of people who don't have much food security (ie they are too poor to afford a decent meal for themselves and/or their kids every day without public assistance, and sometimes even with public assistance they still barely make it, even in California, or especially in California, and even in OC , ...YES even here in Orange COunty there are a lot of poor people, especially in Santa Ana which i learned is the "poorest city in the entire USA!" , BUT also even in areas you might not expect there to be issues of food security. So check your stereotypes especially in OC where they want to brand themselves as having everything perfect...but it's not,...for too many people, they are not getting enough nutrition.
