To be exact, “one-hundred thousand children under five years of age suffer from acute malnutrition, while one in three children is stunted, or irreversibly short for their age,” which is approximately 42% of the child population (“10 Facts”). Malnutrition and poverty seem to happen in a continuous circle. Since adults living in Haiti do not have opportunities for high paying jobs, they can’t supply their children with the amount of food and sanitary water they need. Therefore, children get very sick and suffer from severe malnutrition. Due to the fact that parents cannot provide for their children, and the children are too sick or do not have the money to go to school, it is hard for their health to improve.

World hunger comes with many global effects. It affects kids the most because they are still growing and developing. We can all stop world hunger if we work together by donating to charities and organizations that work to prevent world hunger. Chronic hunger, such as famine, is as devastating to families, communities and countries. Chronic hunger claims and affects many victims by famine each year.

“Cattle” spend the first 6-8 months of their lives grazing. While this grazing period does satisfy some instinctual needs, “cattle” face many hazards in unnatural confinement. Restricted within a particular area, the “cattle” often have no refuge from extreme weather. Many die as a result of intense heat, hypothermia and seasonal floods. In 2009, approximately 91,000 “cattle” in North Dakota died due to flooding and extreme winter weather.”(MSPCK) The breeders and farmers are trying to put lots of cows in a little space.

Feeding America is a nationwide network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs that provides food and services to people each year. Together this network is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization. Recently, more families and individuals begin to struggle with hunger due to the cost of living increasing and income from employers not being sufficient enough to feed and take care of a family. Price and income shifts can radically impact the poor and hungry. When prices rise, consumers often move to cheaper, less-nutritious foods, increasing the risks of micronutrient defects and other forms of malnutrition, which can have long-term unfavorable effects on people’s health, development and productivity.

Researchers: Kyle Antonio Latayan & Margaret Manuel General Topic: Nutrition Narrowed Topic: Effects of malnutrition on children ages 6-10 in NCR in 2013 Thesis Statement: There are several effects of malnutrition among children living in the poverty line because they do not receive adequate education. Literature Review Nutrition is one of the essential processes directly influencing the overall health and growth of an individual. This requires a person to be fully aware on the types and quantity of food he or she needs to intake on a regular basis. However, the nutrition education of most people are adversely affected, as poverty continues to be one of the central problems encompassing the whole world, especially the third world countries.

While food banks can be helpful, they also cannot always accommodate for a large amount of families in need. “And last Thanksgiving a food bank in Connecticut gave away four thousand more turkeys than the year before and still ran out of birds.” Anna’s essay, School’s Out for Summer, displays evidence that child hunger is a major problem in the United

Human survival is based on everyone’s four basic needs; air, water, food, and shelter. Unfortunately, the need for food has been overlooked and what most people are not aware of is that there are millions of children and adults that do not receive the food that they need every day. The non-profit organization “Feeding America” has helped eliminate hunger in the United States since 1979. First being called “America’s Second Hand Harvest”, they soon became known as “The Nation’s Food Bank” before finally adopting their current name, “Feeding America”, in 2008. Feeding America helps prevent the nationwide problem of hunger with the assistance of people donating and companies who give grants and to feed more than forty-six million hungry citizens

Even the number of hungry people in the world exceeds the total population of US and European Union. Extreme hunger and mal¬nutrition remain as blockade to development and creates a set up from which people cannot easily go out. Hunger and malnutrition mean less productive individuals, who are more susceptible to disease and often unable to earn much more and improve their livelihoods. There are nearly 800 million people in this world who suffer from hunger worldwide, the major¬ity

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.
