About This Quote

One of the most basic human needs is food. But, the more food we have, the more we need to eat. Ultimately, there is a point where there is no more room for more food. This is a miserable place to be.

It’s a place where a person lives from hand to mouth, from day to day, from meal to meal. There is no future ahead of them and they are ready to give up on life itself. However, if you help that person learn how to grow his or her own food then you have saved that person’s life.
