BLOG ACTION DAY...

Today my blog is dedicated to Blog Action Day...




What surprises me as a person living in the 21st century, a time where anything is possible. Amazing technologists, ingenious scientists and overall a very creative and imaginitave human race. Is that yet we can invent, create and imagine all of these futuristic ideas some of the simplest and in my opinion most important issues are not yet solved. Such as hunger, an astounding fact that I came across was that every 5 seconds a child dies of hunger in the third world. In this day and age even the simple problem of not having food is common. We underestimate the importance of food so much. One issue that needs to be raised is the waste of food, mostly by members of the first world. There are nearly one billion malnourished people in the world, but the approximately 40 million tonnes of food wasted by US households, retailers and food services each year would be enough to satisfy the hunger of every one of them. I got this piece of information from the website of Feeding the 5000. And only if this issue was raised  more often we could save millions of peoples lives every year.You dont need to be a rocket scientist to understand that!!!
