Men with an interest in contributing to child welfare without wanting to become fathers yet or otherwise make changes that include diapers, playgrounds and bath time may want to invest in a pair of Bonobos FEED 2 pants.

The men’s clothing company has partnered with FEED 2 Projects, co-founded by Lauren Bush, which helps fund the UN World Food Program that nourishes children domestically and abroad.

The 100% cotton trouser is available in both charcoal and tan and for each pair sold, Bonobos will make a donation to feed 2 school children for a year

Feed Trick-Or-Treat

You’ve checked the list of animal-free candy and ingredients to watch out for if an unknown brand gets placed in your child’s trick-or-treat pail.

The only way to top this off is to collect candy in a reusable bag designed for a great humanitarian cause.

FEED Projects, co-founded by Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson, has launched their FEED Trick-or-Treat bags exclusively at HSN.com/hsncares.

Kristen Bell "Shape" Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of the September 2010 issue of Shape.

The magazine interviewed the vegetarian actress who gave her 30 rules to live by that include growing her own organic herbs and vegetables, using eco-friendly handbags and avoiding dairy with the occasional “cheat.”

Tip 24 is to “splurge wisely,” and for Bell, that means spending her money on sustainable fashion for a good cause.

“I don’t mind paying a bit more for things made with sustainable materials,” Bell said. “I love FEED bags by Ellen Gustafson and Lauren Bush [from $60; feedprojects.com]. They’re eco-friendly, and most of the proceeds go to feeding and educating children around the world.”

Nutrition and fitness experts have always warned that deprivation leads to excess eating. So it makes sense that those who are the neediest–when they finally attain food–gorge themselves on not only copious amounts of food, but the high sugar, high fat, empty carbohydrate type leading to obesity.

Lauren Bush, founder of the FEED Projects, recognizes the correlation and now that she’s started FEED USA to combat hunger in the U.S., she’s thinks it’s a perfect platform to tackle childhood obesity as the answer is not to restrict food from the obese but provide them with ample amounts of healthier choices.

“The people that are focused on ending hunger, and the people that are focused on ending obesity often don’t seem to get along – the people that are trying to end hunger are trying to get more food to people while the people trying to end obesity are trying to get less food to people,” the lifelong vegetarian said, according to Fox.

Vegetarian Lauren Bush has recently launched another set of bags in her FEED Projects series, the FEED Guatemala bags, to help the United National Children’s Fund, UNICEF.

The “FEED Guatemala 1″ and “FEED Guatemala 3″ bags will provide daily nutrient powder for 1 or 3 children, respectively, in Guatemala for one year.

According to the Lord and Taylor website featuring the items, nearly 23% of children over three months and under 5 years suffer from some kind of malnutrition and almost half of children suffered from chronic malnutrition in 2006.

If the world refrained from eating meat, or at least ate less meat, that number could be a lot lower.

“Up to this point we’ve only supported hunger abroad mainly through the United Nations World Food Programme, so tonight is our launch of the FEED USA campaign, where we start to focus on aiding hungry people in America as well as getting healthier school meals to kids in America.”

—-Lauren Bush, to Stylist, on expanding FEED projects to help end hunger in the United States.

Can’t wait to see the handbags that will support this endeavor!
