Mercy Corps Saturates NYC with Starvin’ Marvins

SYMPATHY.jpg

When I saw the words “You can’t eat sympathy” in the ad at left, the concept of world hunger came second to the memory of chunky kids in high school that eat their feelings. (Oh, come on. You watched Mean Girls, didn’t you?)

But nah. It’s Mercy Corps’ Action Center effort to make people more aware of world hunger. If you’re living in New York, you’ve probably noticed people walking around with body paint that makes them look skeletal. That’s agency Household Name’s way of telling you to think on hunger over lunch.

Also see World hunger just got a little closer to home.
