The Right to Food
by Francesca
What does the phrase “The Right to
Food” mean? What is it trying to tell the world? To me the phrase
“the Right to Food” means that everyone in the world should
have enough feed to live a long healthy life; it is trying to say to the
world that no one should suffer because of hunger, no one has the right
to be going everyday to bed hungry while there are millions of people
around the world not even noticing how much of that give a person the
opportunity to live happily and with a full belly.
The right to food means that everyone has the right to have enough food
all through our their lives to feed themselves and not have a person
die every3.2 seconds. What would you feel if you were one of those
people that died of hunger every 3.2 seconds? All I know is that
I’d be scared, but not in a bad way, because being scared would
make me want to learn about the causes of not having any food and try
to resolve them.
Why do people die of hunger? Everyone says that there is enough food in
our world to feed everyone. So why id there this problem of people
dieing because of not having food? My opinion is that the people that
do have enough food are not aware of all the feed that they a wasting,
and all of that feed that goes down the drain could save a
person’s life. I would like to say to all those who are reading
this, try, for a week, to have only one meal a day and one cup of
water. But not a big meal; one small meal, and one small cup of water.
After a week of that you will feel tired and hungry. It hurts, but
think of all those who have that feeling every single day of their
life. Just think: then act.
