Hunger has been a crisis for many years. Food is insufficient in third world countries. Although an abundance of food is being produced everyday that is capable of feeding the entire world, developed countries are not doing enough. Some countries are overfed, consuming more than required. The excess consumption could be used to assist underfed countries. Another reason is the inadequacy of money. Without money many of the essential commodities are not obtained and therefore results in ‘world hunger’.
Everyday food is rapidly being produced. This amount of food has the potential to feed everyone. It is estimated that 2720 calories of food are being produced each day for every person, which is enough to feed everyone on this planet. However, a staggering two billion people suffer from chronic under-nutrition. If food was distributed towards underfed countries such as Africa and Asian countries then they do not have to suffer ‘world hunger’. The causes of insufficient food are incapability to purchase food, do not have enough food, growing crops have been a problem or droughts and floods that wiped out all resources of food. The scarcity of food in third world countries is in need of countries, such as the U.S that are disappointingly overfed to assist them.
Overfed countries should assist those that are in need of food supply. With many countries increasingly overfed third world countries are suffering hunger issues. Compare an obese child to an anorexia child; obviously the obese would be living in a country where food is vast whilst the anorexia child lives in an environment where food is limited. These overfed countries should assist the underfed countries; this will help them as it decrease the rate of people having obesity. This will certainly benefit both countries. According to a forthcoming report from the World watch Institute, a Washington, DC-based research organization they state that “for the first time in human history, the number of overweight people rivals the number of underweight people”.In the developing world, there are approximately 150 million underweight children; nearly one in three children suffers from hunger. So why shouldn’t food be distributed around the world evenly? Instead of one country pigging out and another country suffering hunger we can help each other. The reason on why country is underfed is also due to poverty.
Many of the starving countries are due to poverty, they are unable to buy, produce or grow food therefore they die of starvation. Money is also a vital item; the developed country can play an important role that is to sponsor the starving people all around the world. Giving a child in school a healthy meal will merely cost 19 cents. For US $34 per child per year, we can provide them with regular health check ups, de-worming treatments and provide children a meal in school with all the vitamins and minerals they require. Also for US $60, we can give young children mainly aged under five, special supplementary food, with extra micronutrients, vaccinations, de-worming and health checks. This amount of money can also help pregnant women and nursing mothers who are at jeopardy of giving birth to babies weighing less than 2.5kg. They receive extra food, which will include iodine, vitamin A and iron. Inadequate of these essential foods will result in maternal illness and birth defects. US $60 will provide mothers with nutrition education. It is very disappointing that third world countries purchase more military equipment then they do to buy food. The amount we give them can make us happy, that we as individuals have help shaped the world.
Overall, developed countries have the ability to help third world countries. They should assist them to fight against hunger problems. Especially those overfed countries; they can make a difference by adding them in food supply, not only will they benefit them but themselves. Every cent is worth a lot for the hungry countries, donating 19 cents will give them a healthy meal, even a child can afford this. The nation has produced enough food for everyone, the problem is the distribution. World greed causes food to be not evenly widespread. Furthermore, the developed countries should definitely support the starving countries, we can work together to fight the crisis of hunger in this world.
