Argumentative Essay On World Hunger

The ground is dry and cracked, soil is nonexistent, and anything verdant or lush is nowhere to be found. These attributes are applied to deserts, where precipitation rarely occurs. While most life in a traditional desert is on a desperate search for water, another type of desert exists where this desperate search is for healthy food. These are known as food deserts. Food deserts are areas that lack sources of fresh food, such as grocery stores and farmers’ markets (Gallagher). Instead, food deserts only have stores that sell cheap, unhealthy food. As a result, people living in food deserts are much more likely to be obese due to this prevalence of unhealthy food (“Diet and Obesity”). With all of these health problems arising from food deserts, how should the problem of food deserts

Many people do not realize that hunger and malnutrition is a problem that many Americans face on a daily basis. Maybe, we are failing to realize that our country is not perfect, but if we don’t try to do anything then more and more children will die. The problem with child hunger is that the United States may not face as dramatic problems with hunger as that of other countries, but

Although the United States government spends $176 billion on hunger programs every year, there are currently more than 46 million Americans going hungry every day. In the U.S. every county, state, or congressional district experiences some form of malnutrition and hunger. Right now there is a rapid increase in the number of hungry Americans and the issue is quickly becoming problematic. Today one in six Americans participate in one or more of the fifteen nutrition assistance programs funded by the government and provided by the USDA. Recently more people have begun to question what hunger really is, what all the programs actually do, and what their results are.

This paper explores Hunger in America. From thoroughly observing and comprehending information and analysis from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Stuart, T. (2009). Waste: Uncovering the global food scandal, and excerpts from Cheney, C. (2014, September 24). I have devised a plan which is modified to decrease hunger in America by following a stair step solution beginning at the core of how hunger in America begins. Through these steps I will be explaining a problem that is involved with hunger in America and providing solutions to fix them.

We are facing one of the worst food shortages on the planet, an estimated of 870 million people suffer from hunger every day. These struggles are visible in many places around the globe, it takes only a close look to see starving, dead-like 1.7 billion obese people that suffer every

Everyone wants to be remembered, some not for the right reasons. Me? I just want to be remembered for trying to help others. All my life I’ve been told to clean my plate because there are poor kids starving in Africa, while I have plenty to eat. It's sad to think about, though it's true. There are kids starving in Africa, adults too, however, what about the people in our own backyard? It's easy to distance yourself from the issue when the problem is so far away, but that doesn't make it any less of a problem. I wanted to help end hunger and what better place to start than in my community? Food drives are easy enough to manage, but I wanted to make it bigger, a little more fun and what’s more fun than Halloween? Most people think of Halloween as a time to scare neighbors and collect candy, yet I couldn’t help but think it was the perfect opportunity to give back. So with the help of friends and family the Haunted for the Hungry trail was started. This haunted trail doesn’t charge the traditional admission, instead the only condition to get through is you have to bring one canned good.We’ve done this for four years now, and have raised hundreds of food items that are dispersed to nearby local food pantries.

There are thousands of starving children in the world and people have the money to feed them but there is a waste of money on making a commercial.about the issue. UNICEF, The United Nations Children Fund, was first founded on December 11, 1946. This organization gives compassion and developing assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.

Did you know about 21,000 kids die everyday due to hunger related causes according to the United Nations. This is one person every 4 seconds, sadly its kids who die most often…. Therefore there is food in the world for everyone but the problem is with kids and adults are in poverty. The lack of not having money to buy food or nutrients for there lives moving on. So next time you complain that not having food think of the outside world where kids don't get to eat for several days and when they do its not much. There is so much you can do to help you can pack food for them at Save a Life where you can make a difference. The founder of Kids against Hunger Richard Proudfit who's been all across the world created Revolution Food Package and that

Recently dozens of schools have shifted to healthier lunch programs and vending machine choices to decrease the rate of childhood obesity. As schools are adding more fruits and vegetables to their menus, the students are getting used to the new options. A study was done at a high school in Greenville, South Carolina, about the transition from junk food to healthier lunch options. “At first, sales were down…”, said a cafeteria worker at the high school, but it got better after about a month or so once the students became accustomed to the different choices, and now the school’s cafeteria workers are, “Slammed bell to bell..." (greenvilleonline).

Listen to this: If you took the entire population of the United States, Canada, and European Union and put them in a room, and then you take all of the people in the world who suffer from starvation and put them in a room, there would be more hungry than the population of those places combined. Yes, you read that right, the amount of hungry people in the world exceeds the number of people who live in the United States, Canada, and European Union combined. World hunger can effect their education, life and society. We can do something about it. I know this is a really big problem in the society we live in, but we CAN do something about it. They deserve a second chance at a good life, and of we work together, we can put an end to world

Do you ever take your lunch anywhere? Have any of your food products ever been wasted, destroyed, or damaged in any way due to the unstable or heavier items in your meal? Secondly, let’s say when you go into a restaurant, would you want your entree to come out squashed or crushed? Food protection is an enormous problem. Food is one of the key ingredients needed for life, so why do people not protect it like they protect themselves or how they protect others? Food protection is the action of not allowing any items in the meal to be harmed or for the consumer to be harmed from eating the meal. Food protection is not a legal law in the United States, yet if the government teaches the importance of food protection and why it is needed, children in the United States would have much better health habits, such simple habits such as washing their hands before eating or washing off their produce before people eat it can help. Simple habits like that could change all of America, so why does the government not teach children about food protection? Let me talk to you about food protection.

Have you ever not known where your next meal was coming from? Or if you’d have to skip 2 meals a day, possibly 3? This is the case for millions of Americans, who spend their days looking for ways to feed themselves or their families. 1 in 6 American families face hunger and food insecurity every year, but there is a way to change that. Food Banks are the second most important way for poverty ridden families to get food, next to Food Stamps. There are food banks all over the country, ranging from the biggest ones like Feeding America, to small pantries run from neighbor’s homes. Nevertheless, food pantries also suffer. For as much as they are helpful, they are also in need. Food banks need donations from everyone to continue running, donations more than just your canned goods. I used to volunteer for the Food Bank of Delmarva before I came here for college, but there are many food banks in his area as well. I want to tell you why food banks are so important, and to convince you to donate your time and maybe a little extra money to your food banks.

Don’t be surprised if leaders who are expected to act on this project do not move as swiftly as anticipated. However, action is required and must be taken by the countries that are most in need. The citizens need to take action to deal with the root causes of hunger and to correct them. We all must focus on a solution.

One of the biggest problems that we face today is over food. We constantly read and hear about people who eat too much or too little, who and where there is access to food, and about the number of people who go to bed hungry each night. These problems are heightened with the increasing demands to feed more and more people. Fortunately, the production of food has been able to grow with the increasing growth in population. Amusingly, despite having enough food to feed everyone there are still millions left to starve. The United Nations World Food Programme was quoted saying “some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That’s about one in nine people on earth.” Although we have the capability of increasing the amount of food made, it does not mean that all of those people are being fed. The inflation of people in the world is paralleled with the a growing number of those left to starve. The reason this is true is due to the fact that places were food is usually stable (Europe, North America, Japan, etc) are steadily decreasing in population. However, countries that are do not have a stable amount of food such as (Africa, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia) are sharply increasing in human population. Those countries have been having more children than their specific area can take. Until there becomes more awareness in these areas, many individuals will die of hunger.

Just like the 46 million Americans like her, twenty-four-year-old Desiree Metcalf is stuck in poverty. Metcalf’s is among those Americans that brought poverty from their childhood to adulthood. After high school, she had gotten a full scholarship to the University of Florida but got pregnant. Now she is a mother to three children, whom all have different fathers and she lives in a two bedroom apartment in Bath, New York. She used to be an alcoholic and was into self harm. Plus Metcalf also says that she smoked, “like a chimney.” “But more disturbing is that poverty is now starting to take its toll on her children, especially her eldest daughter. Metcalf says she recently tried to run away from home in the middle of the night.” Though the government has paid much attention to this family, with programs like, Head Start, food stamps, health care, and housing it has never been enough. The government spent $3,000 on giving Metcalf certified training as a nursing assistant, which she has always wanted to be, there has never been a spot open in her small town. Also to top it all off, Metcalf knows that if she does get a job, the government will stop providing for her and her small family (“One Family’s Story Shows How the Cycle of Poverty Is Hard to Break”). Even with all of these dilemmas Metcalf still hopes to have her dream of becoming a certified nurse’s assistant come true. Metcalf’s story is one of many that tells us that the distribution of money is
