Chapter 14 Gleaners
Sara Miles connects her understanding of what is going on in the American food system with the food system in the Bible. Second Harvest Food Bank and organizations like it are providing the work of the gleaners.
"To
feed the hungry with the excess of an unfair system: to make bread out of
injustice. It was like the Bible verse that instructed people how to leave food
for gleaners: "When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf
in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be left for the alien,
the orphan, and the widow."" (149)
