These articles really made me think. They talk about poverty and world hunger. It’s more serious than anyone can have imagined!

According this article a person dies every 3 and a half seconds. And unfortunately most of these victims are children who cannot eat and live in extreme poverty, most of this is happening in third world countries like Africa and India. There is plenty of food for everyone but not everyone can afford it. Now I will start thinking differently when I have food and want to just throw it out. I don’t want to waste. We eat about 3 meals every day. Some of the people out there don’t even get 1 meal every couple days.

Unfortunately they is very little we can do about it because its just out of our reach. Of course you can donate food or money…but how much of that will actually get there?

Not everything is how it seems. I feel like this is a very important issue in the world and this could be a really good picture book. It can teach people more about the world and teach people to be to be more thankful. I mean people complain about eating vegetables or mashed potatoes. But some people have to eat bugs just to survive.

Over all these articles really opened up a window for me about the world and some of its depressing issues.
