The Right to Food
by William
Every body has the right to
food. The right to food means to have access to food at all times or
have a way to get to food. It is an estimation that in about 34,00
children die every day from world hunger. In about 3 ½ days
more people die than in the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima. The thing
is that we do have enough food to feed every one but the distribution
is uneven.
One of the problems of world hunger is like I said an uneven
distribution of food today. Another problem is people who know how to
farm don’t have any land to farm on because the land isn't
fertile enough. Out of all the really poor countries about 98% of them
export to richer countries. Another thing that causes world hunger is
war because if a country is at war that country spends all its money on
weapons rather than food. Hunger is also like vicious cycle because
poor people are known not to get a good education so that stops them
from getting well paying jobs and they give birth to the next
generation who have a bad education so it just carries on. The places
where hunger is the most problem is in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
It is an estimation that 840 million people are hungry in the world at
the moment.
A way we could stop this is by trying to waste less food because so
much food is wasted and thrown away, what we could do is send all that
food to a country is most serious and then at least a few people are
eating, even at home we do it. In an article I read it said that 4 tons
of food every three weeks is thrown away. Another thing we can do is
charities; we could convince people to give food and money to the
charities. One thing that would really help is setting up jobs in the
places where hunger is the most serious because if you give someone
food then they will eat all of it really fast but if you give someone a
job then when they run out of food they can just buy some more food and
the that person wont go hungry again. And remember every one can make a
difference.
