I think its all because of soci of food. Last week I read the readings on world hunger, and the main problem is inequality in distribution, be it income, food, opportunity. It is inequality that causes hunger, not overpopulation or famine or natural disasters. And it is everywhere.
I can't imagine how bad it must be. I mean like chronic hunger. I miss a meal and I feel like dying, and these kids go on for days without food.
So I thought maybe there's something I can do to solve this hunger problem. But it is hard. It's such a big scale global thing, and inequality can't be resolved simply by rearranging the distribution. Quite disheartening though. For once I feel so strongly about a social issue and there is practically nothing I can do to really help.
So I googled. haha Google is my best friend. And UN has this ongoing fund raising campaign for world hunger. Just USD 1 can feed FOUR kids. USD14 can buy a sack of rice. I feel quite bad knowing that the dinner I had today can prob buy like 2 sacks of rice. I guess that's qhat inequality is all about. But until I am more powerful to solve this hunger problem, all I can now is to donate to the UN WFP.
You can donate too! Click on the link on the side bar. You can choose which hunger problem you want to donate to. Imagine, that Starbucks can feed 16 kids.
Anyway, I am not posting this so I can like ad moneys or whatever. Just something I feel I should do my part for.
