I'm Megan. So I'm not going to waste this space telling you, people who wouldn't give a s**t anyway, about myself.
On the right side of my page, you see pictures of tomato pickers in South Florida. These pickers are impoverished, only earning 45 cents per 32 lb bucket that they pick. In a day, they can only earn $9, which is enough to do what?
Coalition of Immokalee Workers, or CIW, is an organization that is striving to improve these conditions, by asking fast food companies, such as Burger KIng, to add a cent per pound of tomato that the pickers pick. This is about 77 cents per 32 lbs; over time this can add up to much more. So far, Burger King has refused, and many people have joined together to boycott, until they agree to these terms. Maybe you should to.....
You must be thinking, IMMIGRANTS. So what, I mean, at some point in time, one of your ancestors had to have immigrated to the United States, it's not like your line is entirely native-born. So after you got over a border, then it's time to cut off everyone else, huh.
Even if they are, does that really matter? These are PEOPLE who need help. This isn't an obligation, but it will cut back on the greasy crap that harms your health [Yay for you] and potentially help someone else as well [this can make YOU feel good].
Okay, there are many other different aspects to this, not like it's a straight line. But this is a basic 'you should help' info. If you want to find out more, you should definitely check out this website:

I'm not gonna say that 'if you don't help, you're a bad person'. Every person has their own thoughts on this subject, they are all valuable. Do whatever you feel is best in this situation.
