I think by now everyone got used to Lauren Bush wearing her Feed bag from casual street style to fancy parties as part of her involvement in the U.N. World Food Program’s School Feeding operations.

I know it sounds beautiful and ambitious, but every now and then I get these system-confidence gaps and really ask myself if these actions get to their announced beneficiaries. What’s your take on that?
