1.The poorest 40 percent of the world’s population accounts for 5 percent of global income. The richest 20 percent accounts for three-quarters of world income 2.At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day
36 million Americans struggle with hunger, including 13 million children.
These people are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days
Malnutrition and Iodine deficiency are major issues in poverty-stricken countries. Malnutriton can cause many deaths in children. Because they are malnourished, they have weakened immune systems, which makes them more susceptible to diseases such as malaria. Iodine deficiency can cause life long problems for children such as brain damage and physical impairment. Both of these can be prevented, but the people in poverty stricken countries do not have the tools or resources to provide proper nutrition for themselves. -stephanie bruno

afulmine14 said "1.02[billion] People do not have enough to eat- thats more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union." and i think thats a very intersting fact and we need to do something to help fix that problem

In Kenya’s Rift Valley, crops have failed and people are lucky if they eat even one meal a day. Many now face a choice between migrating to urban slums in search of food and work or staying put and breaking stones to earn enough to survive.
Adam said In the United States, 35 million people, including more than 12 million children, live in household that are at risk of hunger. Of those, 11 million live in households that actually experience hunger...Thats really scary that almost all children experience hunger
people lack the money to buy food to nourish themselves and as they get hungrier, they can't work because of sickness, making it even harder to buy food
Each year 40 million people die from hunger and hunger-related diseases. This figure is equivalent to more than 300 jumbo jet crashes a day with no survivors, almost half of the passengers being children.
About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds, as you can see on this display. Unfortunately, it is children who die most often.
The problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty. They lack the money to buy enough food to nourish themselves. Being constantly malnourished, they become weaker and often sick. This makes them increasingly less able to work, which then makes them even poorer and hungrier. This downward spiral often continues until death for them and their families.
Many countries that suffer from hunger and poverty don't have the "safety nets" that we have. Meaning, they don't have soup kitchens, food stamps, or job training programs. Some families live in a country that is too poor to grow or buy food. They have nowhere to turn for help.
DCshortee said that "$38 billion US dollars worth of food is just thrown away every year." And people in other countries are still starving because...?
40 percent of Ugandans still lack access to clean water and 37 percent live below the poverty line. Violence against women continues to be widely tolerated and is also a leading factor of increased infection levels of HIV/AIDS in Ugandan women over men.

As an individual I can do many things to help world hunger and poverty. I can give canned foods to food banks and donate some money to local charities. --Cindy Remillard (:
As a whole group we can do even more to help world hunger and poverty. Together we can donate larger sums of money by setting up a fundraiser of some sort. --Cindy Remillard (:
We could stop wasting food to end world hunger because $38 billion of US money is just thrown away every year. If we didnt waste, then we could donate that money or use it for things that wont just throw the money away.
"Several people live too far from the food market or are found in areas that are inaccessible" ... I think people should live in areas that are more beneficial to their needs.
my power point is about anorexia and bulemia. i already knew what they were but something that i learned from doing this is a symptom or sign of being anorexic is Obsession with calories, fat grams, and nutrition

forget about food, people say that in twenty-forty yrs. there will be shortages of water since governments will try to claim as much of it as they can in a time when the rest of the water will be highly polluted.
