What would you do if you came across someone on the street that had not
had anything to eat for several days? Would you give that person some
food? Well, the next time you get that impulse you might want to check
if it is still legal to feed the homeless where you live. Sadly, feeding
the homeless has been banned in major cities all over America.
Other cities that have not banned it outright have put so many
requirements on those that want to feed the homeless (acquiring
expensive permits, taking food preparation courses, etc.) that feeding
the homeless has become "out of reach" for most average people. Some
cities are doing these things because they are concerned about the
"health risks" of the food being distributed by ordinary "do-gooders".
Other cities are passing these laws because they do not want homeless
people congregating in city centers where they know that they will be
fed. But at a time when poverty and government dependence are soaring to
unprecedented levels, is it really a good idea to ban people from
helping those that are hurting?...
