Hunger

Hunger is one of the biggest problems that our world is currently facing. I think that it is extremely important to address this difficult situation because there are many people that suffer because they don't have anything to eat. I find it really sad that so many people have to go to bed and wake up with an empty stomach. I also find unacceptable the fact that so much food is wasted every day while others don’t have enough for even a single meal a day. Restaurant, food chains, and even family homes generate a significant amount of food waste every single day. If there could be a safe way to distribute this wasted food to those that really need it, it would make such a great difference. According to United Nations Food Programme, poor nutrition causes 45% of children’s death every year. This adds up to nearly 3.1 million children a year. This is especially shocking when you take into consideration that one out of six children that live in developing countries are overweight. This is a terribly unfortunate situation that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. I also think that there should be much more awareness for such an important issue like I find this one to be. Something that does make me happy is that there are a lot of foundations and organizations that little by little, and with the help of volunteers are trying to make a change. I believe all of us should give our help and support to this cause because it is something that is affecting a lot of people in the world.
