---- That term "food sharing". What does it mean? It's one thing to split a sandwhich...
but it could also be a euphamism for food distribution... do we want that in a public park?

Do we WANT that? Maybe it'd better that food that is ready & available NOT be given out free by those who wish to do so.

Services for the poor in the USA have been decimated since the Banks & Wall Street pulled their coup last fall. Even before that the numbers of homeless were climbing (former job holders fired, then lost their homes, now broke).

America often treats our poor as if their sorry situation is solely their fault: They don't try hard enough, they have no work ethic, they're genetically inferior, they're worthless and shiftless and up to no good.

btw: It's an Op Ed piece:

Op-Ed Contributor Not the same as reporting / journalism.

If you want sensationalism look at the often prevailing attitude claiming that the poor should help themselves and get their own sh!t together. That is sensationalist in the worst way.
