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 .
