app, just like Uber is.
There are, Nutt acknowledges, still some kinks to be worked out. Security, for one –“ We want people to be safe while they’ re doing this”; geomapping, for another – how to identify locations and track how much and what kind of food is going to each one.“ If somebody gives us 300 apples,” he says,“ we don’ t want to just dump all those apples on people in one place. That’ s not a complete meal.”
Nutt has coined a term –“ hangry” – which is“ hungry” plus“ angry.” That’ s what motivates him, he says, the knowledge that too many people out there are hungry and that the food available to satisfy that hunger is going to waste. If he has anything to say about it,“ hangry” someday will be a thing of the past.
