That is very sad to hear that so many people go hungry in the U.S. today... I would have thought that our Country did not have such problems today... But it is good to hear that there are organizations that try and help these people. Could it be that families have so many kids and have low-paying jobs and not enough money to support their family that they starve to death on the streets? Very sad... But I think America in general has many jobs and I don't think anyone should go hungry... So many places are hiring, you can support yourself if you really had the desire.. How can you starve to death? I just don't understand that.. People should have options...
ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy to see that there are so many organizations that are working to bring an end to hunger. But at the same time it’s sad to read about how many people actually are going hungry. This reminds me of all the commercials on TV about the African children who need help; they always make me feel so bad for not helping. But it’s good to know that so many people are there helping.
ReplyDeleteIt is really depressing to hear that all of those people, especially children, go hungry and die each year due to malnutrition. We need to educate individuals about these situations so that we can produce enough help to try to decrease the number of people that are dying from lack of food.
ReplyDeleteI like this blog is a very interesting one, and for some people it can be a very big eye opener. It seems like there are always ways to help other countries that are struggling with poverty, but never enough to help with our own country. Without awareness I don’t think people know to what extent poverty affects the U.S. So with these organizations helping and getting the word out I really do think it will and can help.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see how many organizations there are that are trying to bring this awareness out into the public. There are so many more organizations trying to help the hungry that people don’t even know about and I think it is crucial to try to make it more of an awareness and get the programs more publicized.
