It is a sad day in our great American nation that I must speak about the unjust, that is present in our current demographic situation. We need a SOLUTION. Our citizens are starving, they are leaving to other countries, while turning their backs to the nation that grew them. Gold diggers are walking around our GREAT NATION with children just trailing behind them looking for handouts in food stamps. People across the entire globe look to this great nation for support with hunger, a problem that is most easily solved through the addition of a new nourishment to the global menu. It has come to my attention that children cost the average family roughly $13,500 in only their first year! (babycenter). Children will always require food, time, and …show more content…
Um excuse me, hello people, wake up! There are thousands upon thousands of people starving in our paved streets. We need to start looking into how to make sure that are citizens are fed. First we fix the hunger issue with our citizens, once we have made a HUGE step forward other countries will fall like dominos. America will forever be the GREAT NATION that our founding fathers set out to develop. America, this is the ultimate cause for our success. We will have no one to thank but ourselves, we will be the ONLY nation who has found a way to combat the hunger that strikes each and everyone of us deep in our bodies. We will be the change that this great nation needs, and will not fall short as prior administrations …show more content…
Think about it. We make millions off of fine artisan craft, food and for what? To be fed? To be satisfied? No, we eat the best that money can afford because that is what makes this nation so great. We have the right to choose what to eat, when to eat, and with who. There is no better solution than to eat our own that will not make it to the ethereal living that this great nation is known for eating at. We make our choices. We make our food. We are not outsourcing to foreign nations to obtain their lesser and degraded choices of food. We will grow our own crop of artesian long meat and we will simultaneously make our nation
Different people will have have their many opinions about that, but one thing for sure is food goes through a lengthy process to be grown and sold, yet not all people have access to it and citizens never really know what they're eating.
On the 8th of this month, I attended a lecture in the UA Poetry Center presented by Dr. Jerome Dotson (an instructor in Africana Studies). The speaker, who obtained a MA in African American Studies and a PhD in History, presented information for this particular lecture on the diets of slaves, and specifically within that, the connotation of pork in their meals. Dr. Dotson began the talk with a brief discussion of ‘roots’ and played a video of Kunta Kinte’s visual explanation of the meaning of food in a slave’s life. The video highlighted what slaves ate, which consisted mostly of grits, roughly ground corn, and pork. Kinte’s video also presented yet another tragedy behind slavery—the nature of chronic underfeeding and hunger.
In America, there are many things that are kept in the dark, which sometimes doesn’t come to the light, unless it is exposed. Michael Pollan and Jim Hightower both expose the truths that aren’t always too apparent in the eye of the beholder, which in this case, is Americans. They both unveil lies and tell truths, which in the end, is more than beneficial to the American society. In a letter to the future President of the United States, Michael Pollan acknowledges the troublesome in food in our society.
In his interview Pollan mentions, “not only do we need to spend more money on food, we need to spend more time on food”(6). This is a healthier option rather buying fast food or processed food at the store because there are ingredients in these foods that are not as safe for people to eat. Even though it is a quicker option that many Americans prefer, eating fast food is not beneficial for people in the long run. Pollan goes on to say “We have outsourced food preparations to corporations, by and large”(6). Food is not being prepared as often as was in the past and people are giving corporations their money by purchasing their processed food, which is why corporations are taking over.
The companies only care about making money out of producing the harmful food. Both authors argue about people’s personal choice has to be very effective because food and financial status which can carry through your entire life and rich people have more options than middle-class people when it comes to food. Moss and Krugman mention about the decisions you make about food and money should be reasonable. Krugman states, “Because American children low-income families are often uninsured, they’re more likely to have health problems that derail their life chances” (Krugman 567).
Hunger is a serious problem throughout the world, but today I will be focusing on hunger in america. Just for reference, I don’t mean the time between breakfast and lunch. I mean people who don 't know where their next meal is coming from, or are starving. I will be delving into the problems that exist, systems set up to help people do, and what an average person can do.
In this non-fiction book by a journalism professor at UC Berkley, Michael Pollan asks the age old question…”What’s for dinner?” Michael Pollan believes that how we answer that question may well determine how we survive as a species. In his book he details how we as a country have been lead down the convenience path when choosing what we eat. Fast food chains and the American Supermarket have changed the way we eat as a nation and Michael Pollan is considered an expert in this subject. In this award winning book, he follows the four food chains: industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves and the impact these sources are having on the health of our country.
Baby Kennels Hello there, Do you have children? Do they have behavioral problems? Are you have problems house breaking them? is it hard to find someone to take care of them?
In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it's almost shocking that anyone in America goes hungry. Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need. At the same time, we also seek to help the people we serve build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.
Our world has been struggling with hunger for a while, but why doesn 't anyone put an end to it? There are people who are dying of hunger while we sit down for three big, fat meals each day. And if we don 't finish one of those meals, we just throw them away. We could be saving lives, but instead, we just throw that opportunity away. Do you ever even give starvation a thought?
Don’t even get me started on the American food industry! The american food industry is one of the only food industries in the whole wide world that favors money over the health of its citizens. The food that most Americans eat is processed crap, if you can even call it food! How many of you have eaten popcorn, chips, candy, or crackers in the last week? The amount of chemicals in the food we eat as a country on a daily basis is freaking ridiculous.
There are a lot of problems in the world like poverty and pollution but hunger seems to be the most severe to me. There are so many different types of people who are famished most of the day just because they are homeless or because of their race. Studies show former foster youth, L.G.B.T. students and students of color are at substantially increased risk. One group of people who are in hunger the most is college students. College alone is so expensive that a lot of students can’t afford to even feed themselves.
The fact that Americans, home of some of the most obese humans in the world, are going hungry is indiscernible. Today I stand before you to explain why we, as fellow Americans, need to extend help in the growing effort to fight the war against hunger in America. Before learning what you can do to help, we must first understand the extent of hunger in America. Then we will discover the cause of hunger in the United States. Finally I will present several ways you can contribute to the fight.
People need to take initiative to stop eating food that’s not healthy for them because at the end of the day it’s all up to you to stay healthy. Our country become less responsible for their own health and start to blame everyone else for their own health but look at us not eating right and wondering why they are not feeling good, you’re not doing the right thing. This world is full of
World Hunger can be stopped and people can put an end to it, but it’s going to take a ton of work. It is going to take ton of people to help complete the project, but it’s not impossible. We as a nation, we as a family, and we as a community can end world hunger. It all starts with not wasting your food when you could give it others who would love to have it. Around 70 billion pounds of food are wasted each year in America.
