The Right to Food

by Christine



Are you still complaining to your parents that you must eat pizzas of hamburgers? Did you ever shout at your mom that you won’t eat spinach? Well, if you did, you’ll feel shame to yourself and think how food – healthy food are important at the end of this story. Thousands and millions of people and children like you go to bed without eating anything. Almost 6 billion people are starving to death. We should do something and find a way to solve rather than just watching. Now, lets see what are the problems and find the solutions together.

As you probably know, the highest hunger country is India, which is 50% and Africa, Asia both together 40%. The rest is Latin America. There are many problems that make these country s’ hunger increase. First, most people in the world, don’t have enough money to buy food. Since people don’t have money, the other problem is that the people don’t have money, the other problem is that the people can’t learn. And also they are too weak to be educated ; they didn't eat. Unfortunately, these people, how matter they are intelligent; they have no choice to be educated. Because to learn, they need money, but also energy. It would be better if this was the only problem. We can at least build schools and help solving he food problems. However, there are many natural disasters that cause a negative affect. For example, in Thailand, 2004 on October, there was a huge tsunami. The word tsunami might be very simple and nothing so special, but it is one of the biggest disasters in the world. Not only damaging furnitures, but also killing millions of people. When you get one of the disasters like the tsunami, the town, even the country gets weaker than before. It costs a lot of money to fix buildings and to organize all the things that are ruined by the tsunami. And the populations decreases. The nature is ruined; no land; no workers; no foods. Even some of the people lose jobs. Besides, natural disasters are too powerful that humans cannot defeat, yet. But not only the disasters cause hunger. There are plenty food in the world. It is just that the rich ones and the poor ones aren't balanced. Even the U.N. countries have problems about hunger. Can you imagine that in the world, 30,000 million children die? It is a sad result. We have to get this number smaller and smaller until it disappears.

To block this hunger, we can donate pencils and erasers that can be used in school and money. People can go to other countries and teach how to grow plant that you can eat. And scientists can maybe find a way for growing plants in deserts. For children, we can make a center that provides food and teachers. Hunger is a world problem. We cannot just ignore that it doesn't happen in our country. All together must try to find a way to solve. It would be shame, just watching people die. We have to make a world, which there are no people dieing of no food. Starting with you.
