From the ABC World News Tonight series "The Power of Two" . . .

Two powerful things you can do to eat healthier:

(1) Eat more "slow" food
(as opposed to fast food; prepare, sit down for and savor your meals); and
(2) Eat more local food.

Two powerful things you can do to fight hunger:

(2) Give $5 annually to international relief agencies that give a hand up to the poor.
