The Menu: Shane Ryan and FEED provide food for the soul

Whenever The Menu finds himself down in his cups, gloomily pondering the future of the planet, it is invariably an encounter with youth that restores his moral equilibrium and faith in humanity.

Young Limerick man, Shane Ryan, founder and head honcho of FEED, a Dublin-based healthy lunch delivery service, is such a youthful ambassador whose enterprising zeal and social conscience is precisely the class of winning combination to warm the cockles of even the stoniest of hearts.

Not only do FEED provide healthy lunches using wholesome, natural, additive-free ingredients without becoming overly obsessed with any current dietary fads du jour, but for every meal sold, they also donate the cost of a meal for a child in the developing world through their charity partner, Mary’s Meals.
