Dog Food? Sad!!

The other day a story broke about a lady's purported offer to donate dog food towards famine relief in Kenya!
As it turns out the kind lady wasn't donating dog food!She was preparing a nutritious health mix! Plus maize and money! She was crying on radio the other day after what she's been through!She just makes dog food!
Typical of our local press really!
Interesting how we in Africa not known for being the most generous ourselves are so quick to criticise when others offer help!!
Reminds me of T.D. Jakes trip some months back!
Sad really, that in all probability those shouting the loudest have probably not donated a cent towards famine relief themselves!
Sad!!

Dog food...was it really? I have been avoiding this debate, but looks like everyone is on it. It was a story reported by the press. We can hardly know the truth. But people are all eacting. I think the woman's intentions were noble, but what's to do with a stuck-up government that wants to beg and choose!

no. my fear is that the "health mix" was not tested by their authorities. She offers it, yes but why do they not eat it themselves. True she was misquoted but she would have been misquoted if the food was deemed for human consumption by her authorities. If she produced it for human consumption and not just herself...
