This is how much food a family gets in a week or less
World Hunger, will it always be a problem?

Children and adults all over the modern world and especially in third world countries are dealing with hunger and starvation. Usually when countries are starving they don't have the resources for their country to survive. This terrible act has been going on for many years, it’s still happening because people are eating and wasting food in countries with plenty along with poverty in most countries. In the US we have plenty of food around us, but we still have starving children and adults. This is because people are taking advantage of our food. We are taking more than we can eat and throwing away what we don't eat.

People are eating too much and not exercising, which is causing obesity, which is also a big problem in the world. Obesity is where people are severely overweight and can’t stop eating. Some of that food that is not used or thrown away can be used for people in need. This is a huge problem because its bad for their health.

Life expectancy  is much larger than it was 30 years ago. The life expectancy in the early 1800’s was maximum of 35-50 years, now its almost 80-90. We are living longer because scientists and doctors are coming up with new medicine to make you live when you're on the verge of death, more sanitation in your home and on the streets and we are cleaner and take care of ourselves impressively better. This makes the population huge (a population explosion) and the resources less and less. There is less land to plant crops and with global warming a constant concern, the crops existing are being compromised with changes in weather. How do we keep up with the ever growing population? Considering we have more than 7 billion people on the earth currently. People need to feed their families which can be from 1 child to more than 10 children with the parents. With less resources it’s getting harder to provide for your family and yourself. If each family had 6 children, minimally, the resources would be a lot less accessible than if you had 1 or 2 kids. “If each person had one or two kids their lives would be just as great as if they had 5 or six” says Mrs. Mcarty.

There are solutions to these problems. People could be planting more fruit trees, and vegetables in their own backyard. If we decided as a nation to each grow at least ¼ of our food we eat, this would deduct the amount people would need to buy as well as the amount farmers would be expected to produce. There is plenty of space for plants but we use that space for houses, buildings, roads, malls and factories. Other solutions are minimizing our food portions and eating and buying less food. We could even out the distribution of food in other countries. In other countries they don't have very much food because of poverty. In most third world countries, the average person is either unable to work or receives such little amount of money for their job, they are unable to buy the resources they need for themselves and their families.  Unlike the United States, we have plenty of food but we still have starving and hungry families everywhere.

Most of the people we interviewed said that world hunger is one of the things that can never be stopped or taken care of, “No, i don’t think it’s possible because the one reason is that many countries are third world countries so they don’t have any resources and money,” Aj Hart said, “and also parents don’t go out and try to provide they just sit there and wait for someone to help them.”
In our world we act like it's every man for himself.  We interviewed some people and most of that said we are one world and should work together as one, and the others said that each part of the world should take care of itself with no help from anyone else. “No, we are one world and we need to work together on this planet.” said Mrs.Denio. We are one world and we do need to work together to stop world hunger and starvation. It’s a huge problem and most people don’t care about it. Like I said earlier, every man for himself. Mrs slater said “ i think we should take care of our country first.” Is this the solution? only take care of ourselves first? Would this solve the issue? If we take care of ourselves first, would we then be able to take care of others.. show them what worked for us?
    The main third world country is Africa, that is also the main hunger and starvation center in the world. In other countries we have hunger and starvation but nothing compares to Africa. The people that live in Africa not only have starvation problems, they also have many diseases that spread around like the flu. To get that noticed around the world would be amazing. The couple of ways that people have said that you could help make the hunger more noticeable  around the world were, “I think the media center, commercials, and doing what you're doing, posting articles online would help world hunger get noticed.” says Mrs. Slater. It’s an issue that is getting greater by the day. People have a tendency to avoid or ignore any problem unless it’s personally affecting them. So, how do we get the issue under control? How do we get people to care? How do we solve the problem?
There are starving people all over the world, some of them are children and some are adults with families. No matter who or what it is it's still a problem, we need to fix this problem because it won’t go away if we ignore it.

There were 925 million people that are struggling with hunger in 2010, now there is over 1 billion.The big question that stills hangs above us is... how do we solve the problem of hunger and starvation?
