World Hunger

Recently in class we discussed world hunger and its after effects. I came across a blurb on the Internet. The article by Reuters stated that " food aid is at a 20 year all time low despite the soaring numbers of hungry people world -wide".

UN World Food Program that the number of hungry people will pass 1 billion this year. There is a serious budget shortfall as contributions decline due to the overall world economic slowdown. They have only 2.6 billion available to cover a budget of 6.7 billion.

When I was growing up parents told their children not to waste food because of the starving people in India...now it could be said not to waste food because of the starving people worldwide.
