We have children eating mud pies -- literally, pies made of mud, water and a little butter [audio] -- while at the same time Mars, a candy company, buys Wrigley, a chewing gum company, for $23 billion.

Twenty-three billion dollars.

What an opportunity Mars/Wrigley has to donate some big money to help alleviate the food crisis that is killing people worldwide.

Buy gum, feed a child. Sounds like good PR to me. Otherwise, it's kind of sickening, people spending billions on such crap that they don't need to consume at all, while people are dying of starvation and malnutrition.
