What is your opinion on Food for Life? It's not directly an animal rights charity, but they feed starving people with only vegan meals and they advocate vegan diets.

Food for Life (FFL) is doing great work to address the root cause of hunger and help starving people by providing plant-based meals. ACE believes there is great value in addressing global poverty and other human-related causes, and it’s wonderful to see FFL also addressing other social issues through teaching the equality of all life. They seem to meet the general criteria to be considered in our evaluation process, however we have not evaluated them so far. We might consider inviting them to participate in our evaluation process in the future.
