She Says: Food Drive – Hangry Pants Style
Mark and I started Hangry Pants as a way to record our Meatless Month experiment. It was Mark’s idea, although I am not sure he knew what he was getting himself into entering the food blog world! He wanted to see what it would be like for someone to live his life as a vegetarian. I wanted a reason to do something I’d wanted to do for awhile; put ahimsa into practice by not eating meat anymore. From there, we wanted to see if we could eliminate high fructose corn syrup from our diets. This experiment coincidentally coincided with the famous HFCS commercials, and so we learned more about what was in our food than expected. Last month, we tried to go back to basics. Mark failed to make many meals for himself, but he tried and saw how hard it was for him. I was a bit more successful at eating less food like substances. I even ate all my dinners at the table!
Now, it’s time for a new challenge. Over the weekend Mark and I tossed some ideas around, but in the end we both agreed that to do something new right now would be insincere. It would be to fulfill a “duty” to the blog rather than to challenge ourselves or learn something new. Therefore, we decided not to do the traditional kind of challenge this month.
Instead, we want to bring awareness to food in a different way. It is sort of oddly ironic that we talk about food, worry about eating cookies, plan what we will eat, create wonderful recipes, eat at Popeye’s and photograph our food when there are people in our world, country, state, city, who go without. I recently read this article that the number of children who went hungry in the U.S. went from 430,000 in 2006 to 691,000 in 2007. And that was before the economic state of our country was labeled as “in the crapper.”
Mark and I are wonderfully blessed to have access to fresh, safe food and water. We are grateful that many people enjoy reading our humble blog. Neither of us thought it would be such fun and that we would make such great blog “friends” in this community. I know how much work it is to blog, read and comment, but I also know how fun and rewarding it can be. We’ve decided, therefore, to use this blog of ours for some good. We’re having a food drive - Hangry Pants style. Closely mimicking Peanut Butter Boy’s Leave a Comment, Feed the Hungry post, every comment (one comment per reader) left on this post is worth 5 cents! On Decemeber 22, I will use the Hangry Pants November Foodbuzz earnings (up to the amount earned from the comments) and go on a different kind of supermarket sweep. I will buy as much non-perishible food as possible and donate it to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.
So everyone, get commenting! Feel free to be anonymous because we can determine whether each comment is from a new person anyway. Tell your friends and family and let’s raise some money!!!!

i love this idea! it’s embarrassing how much energy i waste on thinking about myself; so refreshing to see you guys put other people first!
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Great initiative!!

December 2nd, 2008 at 1:17 pm
What a FABULOUS idea!!! You guys are awsome. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do something similar…mind if I do an offshoot on my blog, with all the credit given to HangryPants of course?!? I’m a newbie so probably won’t earn as much, but every little bit counts!!! Please let me know!
Maybe we can spread the word and get a lot of blogs involved!!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:19 pm
wow that is simply AWESOME! what a wonderful idea =)
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Wow, how cool is that??? Would you mind tremendously if I tried something similar? I’d of course credit you guys
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
wow, great idea!

fantastic idea- totally in with the “season of giving”..I love it!
I’ll pass it along, great idea!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
What a great post, it is ALWAYS good to be reminded how much we have. Actually I recently read a great article derived from an interview with one of my friends who went to S. Africa to work in a few communities there and she was talking about how the people there really have VERY LITTLE but it’s different from in the US b/c in S.Africa they are completely ignorant of what they don’t have. But the people in the US who are poor and must go without food and material goods SEE AROUND THEM EVERY DAY all the things they must do without and incredible EXCESS and LUXURY that in comparison is not only physically degrading but emotionally as well. i think out culture is possibly one of the worst with the extremes co-existing. THANK YOU HEATHER AND MARK for reminding us here and for your food-drive challenge.
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
What an awesome idea! Good luck raising support, and it’s inspired me to do my own donation as well!
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Great idea, and good luck on your challenge. I hope all of your readers comment, and you are able to purchase a substantial amount of food for your local foodbank.
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:56 pm

What a great idea you guys have here! Hopefully it’ll be a huge success!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Brilliant!!! This is such a great idea, Heather and Mark. Can’t wait to see how much you raise!
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Wonderful idea!! My office recently decided to do something similar in the spirit of the holidays and instead of Secret Santas this year we are putting that money towards a Charity of our choosing. Here’s 5 cents guys!
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Great idea
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:27 pm

December 2nd, 2008 at 2:32 pm
you guys are just purely AWESOME!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Very good idea. I currently have a pantry bag – every time I get back from grocery shopping, I put one can of food in the bag, and when it gets full it goes to the food pantry. Since we are on a super-tight budget, that’s all I can do now, but although our budget is super-tight, we’re still eating.
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:42 pm
great idea!!!!!!!!!! 100% support you guys!
And thanks for being so sincere about your thoughts. I don’t think december is a good month for any kind of food-related challenge. (except this one!)

I am in!
I usually send packages to my two cousins and Aunt – nothing much, each package probably costs me $25 a piece.
This year I decided that I would go to my thrift store – they sponsor a women’s and children shelter and they have a Christmas tree with ornaments of items they need for their shelter.
So I am going to be buying $75 worth of bleach, laundry detergent, Clorox wipes, packaging tape and Lysol! I plan on baking biscotti for the relatives, but I think they’ll understand!
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:12 pm
What a FABULOUS idea! So admirable. I will spread the word.

Excellent! Factory farming of meat and dairy contributes more greenhouse gases to the environment than cars, trucks, and aircraft combined. Reducing our consumption of meat and dairy will do far more to save the environment than reducing the amount we drive, than using more efficient vehicles, or than using hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles. Your project is on target with environmental science and in step with recommendations by private and public organizations, including the United Nations. Choosing a vegetarian diet, or better still a vegan one, is the single best thing we can do to positively impact climate change.
