Why are there criticisms about The Hunger Projects past?
One of The Hunger Project’s founders was Werner Erhard, a controversial figure who was part of the 1970s “human potential movement” and the founder of est (Erhard SeminarsTraining). Some critics of Mr. Erhard and those companies that are often identified with him (e.g. Landmark Education) inaccurately associate the current-day Hunger Project with Mr. Erhard. Although he was a founder of The Hunger Project, he has not been associated with The Hunger Project for nearly two decades, and the organization has no ties to Mr. Erhard or his interests. The Hunger Project has evolved into a United Nations accredited non-governmental organization, which has received recognition from top charity watchdog agencies, including a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.
