    Today there is 20 percent people in the world suffering hungriness. The people among them are mostly from Africa and underdeveloped nations. The main issue is how to provide food while population is increasing rapidly and climate is changing speedy due to global warming

    The biggest enemy in human being’s life is hungriness. Scientist is not able to make hunger free nation even though the restless effort they have did in well developed nations. If we talk about the well developed countries rather than under developed country; among 6 people there is 1 person who is suffering hungriness.

    The problem is humger and the failing contact of felowpeople to solve It.


    However, to protest against the peoples of the world, who are in close contact, we have to confront them with the ovious expression for their rich's hypocrasy and there they have no WAY of avoiding their needed Responsbility. They can donate at the church; they can work out their grievances over free trade and cultural population consent for that inproved economic resource determined by the rich segment of the population...


    ... protesting turned and continues to turn to... look what is happening to convenience so often excused. THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH.

    Global warming, it's a big problem, it relied to ours lives. So, we must do every simple thing from little things. Such as, using bamboo instead of wood, ride to the shop instead of driving and so on. I believe, our world will become more and more beautiful.

    Ending world hunger has become a cliched goal for activists for one major reason: it could be accomplished by the end of the year if the countries of the developed world really applied their resources.
    Anyone who has worked in a restaurant can tell you about the obscene amounts of food that Americans waste, and that's not counting the food we waste by shoveling it needlessly into our bodies just to be turned into fat.
    The idea that the leading cause of death in much of the world is eating too much while people in other places can't raise themselves from absolute poverty because they have to spend their days fighting to get enough food and water to survive is ridiculous.

    The problem with hunger is there's more than enough food for everyone, it's the distribution of said food that's the problem.

    Well, interestingly, you mentioned the increase in population. That answers a big part of the puzzle, you just have to ask yourself what countries are having far too many children thereby leaving themselves with too many hungry mouths to feed?

    It's all swings and roundabouts, really. Population size counts for very much, but if one African couple decide to have fifteen children when there isn't even enough food for themselves, well they haven't looked at the math very clearly.

    In saying that, I will reiterate there is a shortage of food in those areas and that's saddening.

    I think that lack of water is going to be the real problem in the not to distant future. That will result in lack of food for just about every living creature with hair. Its terrible that people are going hungry, while so much is wasted everyday. If people would stop pumping out babies the population would not be so huge. I cant understand why people in impoverished countries insist on having large families when they can barely feed themselves now.:confused:

    The same reason Americans/Europeans had large families despite being dirt poor up until the early 1900's, why the one child rule is exempt for rural people in China, ect, more kids means more hands that can work the fields/support you when you get old.

    Not to mention condoms and birth control pills are harder to come by in east bumfuck Tanzania.

    well that there is a good start. Let's send them a pile of condoms, as well as food.

    You know, the old 'help me, help you' approach. Giving them food is fair enough, but it will just continue like that forevermore- it is obviously finite on arrival.


    The old 'we need as many hands as we can get' approach is antiquated and pointless now. They are overpopulated countries, they just have to figure out a compromise and offer the work around to those already readily available. Family business is fair enough, but it seems like they want their cake and to eat it too (couldn't resist, sorry).

    Anyone who works in a poor country will tell you it's not antiquated. Maybe what's antiquated is the fact western nations use tariffs and subsidies to not only artificially inflate the prices of agricultural goods in their own countries while making it impossible for third world growers to compete in western markets, which completely stifles the flow of hard currency into their countries, which in turn directly affects the economic well being of urban dwellers. Or the fact we rape Africa for resources, almost 80% of water used in the third world is used either in the production of, or extraction of, materials and resources for first world nations, and almost all projects funded in Africa are infrastructure projects dedicated to getting these resources. I'll be the last to defend China especially since they're doing it for their own selfish reasons, but at least China actually has been investing in urban renewal projects along with land and equipment improvement to yield larger farmland production. But granted it's just a different case of economics, the west needs resources, China needs a middle class to buy its cheap crap.

    The real issue at hand is the fact the west is living way beyond its means, not Africa and other poor places. Again the amount of food we throw out each year could probably more than feed all hungry people around the world.

    We give them food, yet vs giving them money and equipment to produce larger yields of crops, we tell them we'll give them money if they use it to build a pipeline.:rolleyes:

    A large amount of them are christians and follow the pope. Pope says "have as many christian babies as you can." they abide. the pope says "Condoms are bad and do not help with prevention of pregnancy nor aids." they abide.
    I'm not saying the pope is the reason for all their issues by no means. But he is helping. And yes, I have read about this, so before you attack me for it, I suggest you look it up too

    Yes except only a small minority of poor people around the world are Catholic.

    Not to mention on the flip side people that religious enough to follow the Catholic church to that level of dogma are also probably not having sex before marriage which would cut down on births at a younger age.

    Also on the double flip side, the Catholic church and its associations are one of the largest(if the not the largest) constant aid and charity programs in Africa, responsible for the clothing and proper nourishment of millions of people in Africa alone.

    I don't disagree with you one iota, I believe though that world politics is never black and white. For all you have said, there is a counter argument that could suggest it's entirely wrong. Truth of the situation is there isn't a correct way to propagate the hunger situation, but I do believe building resources to let them help themselves is a good start.

    It's just a sad situation. One thing is true, we of the western world do waste too much.

    I use to work in a grocery store with a fancy bakery, deli, ect, every day/other day they'd throw out mad baked goods, tubs of cookies, ect. Perfectly good food. Even we weren't allowed to take it, under threat of being fired.

    Meanwhile somewhere in America, someone is digging through a trash can right now to find perfectly shitty food.
