Where does their philosophy fit amidst the arguments of Poppendieck and Henderson?
Have you contributed to a hunger drive? Have you heard stories about food stamp fraud rather than explanations of why they might be converted to cash?

What parallels can you draw between their arguments and those of Julie Guthman, Clare Herrick, Slocum et al, Tracey Deutsch, Johnston and Bauman and Raj Patel?
