Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger. — Mother Theresa

Fisher

As an anti-hunger advocate and longtime member of the Entertainment Council for Feeding America, I have become more and more aware of the issues surrounding hunger in our country, a country where 68% of adults above the age of 20 are overweight or obese.

Good, healthy meal choices play a huge part of controlling weight and other health related issues. — Samantha Harris

People who are hungry don't have the heart to think about others. Sometimes they can't even care for their own family. Hunger quashes man's will to help his fellow man.

How do these celebrities stay so impossibly thin?

For most celebrities, the biggest meal of the day is toothpaste (they use reduced-fat Crest). — Dave Barry
