Why on earth is world-famous super-diva Beyonce Knowles holding a box of Hamburger Helper brand instant food product in this snapshot? Because she's donating it to hunger-fighting charity Feed America as part of the new "Show Your Helping Hand" campaign, of course! I'm willing to bet that B hasn't actually tasted Hamburger Helper in years — though maybe her team of privately trained chefs includes that anthropomorphic glove? — but she generously took time out of her just-launched "I AM…" tour yesterday to donate some food to the campaign. She also encouraged fans to bring non-perishable items to her upcoming concert dates, where they'll be collected to feed the nation's hungry.
So, now you have one more reason to see this summer's Must Live Act. Bravo to Beyonce for supporting a great cause. This has been today's edition of "Random Celebrity Photographs with Totally Mundane Explanations." You're welcome.

Ok, I’m getting just about sick and tired of hearing the radio commercials and seeing them on tv about “feeding america” and people “going hungry” in america. Give me a break! This country uses something like 60% of the world’s food supply! We actually have a national obescity research clinic! Something tells me it ain’t that hard to find something to eat in this country. Look at all the people starving in Africa and other third world countries and you’ll know the real meaning of hunger. These people get crumbs to eat every week or so and it shows in their skeleton like bodies. Don’t try to make me feel sorry for “hungry” people in america when there’e a fasr food place on every corner offering food for less than a dollar all the time. Sorry if it sounds like i’m on a soapbox but after seeing video and photos of starving people in third world countries, my heart does not break for “hungry” people in America. We should be ashamed.
One more thing. I work as a server at a resturant and you would be absolutely appalled at the amount of food people throw away all the time. Hungry America. What a joke.
wow you guys are truly truly ignorant. im fairly certain you aren’t trolling. the point is, food still costs MONEY that people don’t have.

Hey, Rabbit food & portion control isn’t that bad.
What’s bad is to dump the fat on the poor to fill the corporate coffers again.
I’m having a problem with this. I came from Kraft Mac&Cheese, a box a day…nuff said.
