While we sit and debate whether or not to bite into that
last piece of chocolate, there are people dying of hunger. Not people going
hungry- missing a few meals, eating barely enough to sustain themselves- but
people actually dying because their body no longer can sustain itself.
People in the Horn of Africa, people in Somalia, people on the
street two miles from where you live.
At the same time, there is wastage. Uneaten food dumped in
the garbage bin, food allowed to go bad in the refrigerator, meals ordered and
left unconsumed.

I've been thinking along a similar vein recently, my husband and I usually do a christmas hamper drive at his work. This year with three family members in hospital we simply don't have the time and it's breaking my heart that no one else is willing to step up and do it for just this one year. I don't understand how they can all simply ignore it.
This is the ultimate man's inhumanity to man. We all could do just that one little bit more to save a life. It is the only reason I even buy a lottery ticket from time to time.
Natasha - Oh, how right you are!! So many restaurants and shops dump away untold amounts of food. And yet children don't get the basic nutrition they need. Just one decision can help, and I appreciate your reminder of that.
It is so horrifying to know this. We can all make a difference. Start somewhere...anywhere. Hunger is in every corner of the world
