DID YOU KNOW THAT EVERY EIGTH PERSON HAS TO GO TO BED HUNGRY?



Every day many people die of hunger, especially in underdeveloped countries. Most of us know about this issue, but no-one stands up to help them. 

 













Lets discuss this heartbreaking problem. At one side it's a predicament that humans in the USA die or suffer from overweight, at the other side, in poor countries like Congo, Eritrea, Burundi and Haiti people are starving. In most of these nations, war is one of the main reasons for this issue. Now there simply aren't enough jobs left for the population to earn money and buy food. About 1,84 billion people have to go to bed hungry everyday. There are more people dying of hunger, than on account of aids, malaria and tuberculosis together. Every 3,6 seconds someone dies of malnutrition -  children are most effected by this.  Altogether, over 2,6 billion children die every year.


Perhaps we cannot solve this problem, but we should still try. In the United States about 40% of the food is thrown away. The average german man litters 31.4kg of groceries every year. We all have to think about this, try to donate a little bit more to help these poor people and throw away less food.
