By Mary Lane Gallagher<br />
Western students (l-r) Erinn Crosby, Ashleigh Abhold, Emma Brumley, Josh Heintz and Shelby Huff picked<br />
vegetables at the Bellingham Food Bank’s farm as part of their study of hunger in Whatcom County in<br />
Kathleen Saunders’ Economic Anthropology class. Teaching students about the causes of hunger is pointless<br />
without teaching them about how to end it, Saunders says. “Why educate them if it’s hopeless?”<br />
