In the time it took me to write this essay, more than 10,000 people have died due to hunger. Most of us don’t know how big the earth is. You might be stunned that a friend shares your birthday, on earth, every day more than 7 million people share their birthday. Your grandma might die and you feel awful because she was very close to you, every 1.5 seconds someone dies.

With about 8 billion people on the earth, you can’t imagine everyone living happily with each other, if you think that is true, you are right.
 
The world is becoming hungry, and not one country has enough food to stop hunger; yet there is enough food on this planet. We could stop world hunger but why did it start? Poverty, disease, lack of education, dirty living conditions, these are just some of the causes of hunger. Most of the planet consists of poverty because they never had the right to work, they can’t pay for food so they die by the 100’s. No education means no intelligence and that means no job offers to make money. Dirty living conditions are where animals thrive, animals carrying diseases. All of these people dying and all we do is sit there in our homes and continue our lives, haunted by the fact that thousands die every day.
 
 Many companies have tried to help, some think it’s generous to give food to the needing; it is kind but once that food is finished what will they do? Give someone corn, he’ll eat for a day. Teach someone to grow corn, he’ll eat for as long as he lives. Education is important, but we are selfish, we want to keep food for ourselves. Humans are smarter than this, if we can invent amazing contraptions like cars and robots, why can’t we cooperate and find a way to end world hunger? All this technology, all these famous scientists can’t figure out the simplest problem. We need to work together to make a difference and believe where there is a will there is a way.
