It’s the age-old question. The answer is still uncertain, but on Tuesday, March 29,  2011, the Arizona Hunger Campaign and Lift Up America helped sponsor an event at St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance in  Phoenix to search for more clues…

Hickman’s Family Farms & Tyson Chicken made a huge donation to help feed hungry people in the Valley of 54,000 eggs    and 30,000 lbs. of chicken. Hickman’s claimed that its egg delivery truck arrived just ahead of the Tyson chicken delivery  truck, but other witnesses claim that it was a photo finish. Well, I guess we will have to keep searching for answers!
