More then one billion people are hungry.

This is very very sad and there is no need for it and no reason for this to be happening except that mankind is greedy and has no care towards fellow man and only cares about himself. I was on the topic of religion earlier and thought I should throw this into this topic of discussion. Apparently The Vatican has billions of dollars and since religion and the church is supposed to be about caring about fellow man and bettering life for all, maybe the Vatican could spare that money to help the poor starving people of the world. HA, not likely....they are just as greedy as anyone else! There is no need for the Vatican, head of the catholic religion, to have that much money when so many are hungry. It angers me! IN the meantime, I'll do my share and even though I do not have a lot of money, I share and give whenever and whatever I can!

Hi Pose123, So sad to hear that one billion people in the world are hungry now a days.But in my own oppinion may be people are hungry because they don't find a way to earn money.They did not force their selves to seek a job.No one is to be blame, except the people.They feels hungry Because they are not striving for their needs especially foods.Good day

I think that although our efforts our woefully inadequate overall, we are doing better now than we were in the past ten years. And I have hopes we will be leaps and bounds better at feeding the hungry in the next ten years.

Hello pose, I think I get what you mean. There are a lot of budget to spend for the advancement in technology or for discovering new things, and yet a budget for food for billion of people can not be given. Where do we base the progress of a country or the world, is it based on the technology or the people in that country, whether they are rich or poor. Maybe if the government will prioritize giving food to the people or better jobs for those people who don't have job then, less people will be hungry and therefore more success and progress in the country and the world. take care

That is definitely true. just in our country, millions of people are suffering from hunger. We just suffered from two major typhoons and many has lost their life and lost their properties. The saddest thing in our country is that the government is not doing anything to fix the problem. Most of the government officials are corrupt.If you would be in our place, you will see a lot of street children begging for food and money. We can really experience the recession right now. A lot of people also lost their job. Actually, I just lost my job last week and I'm glad that i'm back with a new job now. Our basic salary is not enough to cover all our expenses so we really need to have part time job now.

those who are lazy only they are suffering from the problem.

Hello dear Pose. I agree with you that despite our great achievement in science and technology, we still have a lot to do to help those in poverty, to help them get rid of the state of going hungry. I think that each government is supposed to pay more attention to its people with their basic living demands and standards. Only when all the people can live a happy life can they enjoy a peaceful and happy life. What is pleasant is that there are quite a few civil organizations that help those needy, but governments should do more to offer help and make out good policies to help their people.

The food is there, the problem is politics and power, humanity has not yet agreed that freedom from hunger is a basic right of all humans. Hunger is used to control people and governments. It is a very sad state of affairs in the world. Even in the USA that has so much there are hungry people, it is truly shameful.

Pose- Currently my family must use food pantries to stay afloat. We're on a single income whilst I finish my master thesis. At first we struggled alone trying not to take "hand outs" as we were told they were. So many people online and offline kept repeating that if we couldn't make it ourself then we were unfit to have children and to be alive. But this last summer things were so desperate, WIC didn't go far enough because they cut back the amount you get saying it was because children were becoming Obese on milk and cheese, and we didn't qualify for food stamps. I had no milk in the house for three days and watched my babies only have water. I cried every day and night. Finally, I broke down and called a local pantry. The intake woman, Goddess bless her, was so kind. She asked why we had not been coming in, so I told her. She almost cried and told me that there were many people in my exact situation who were using food pantries all across America, and that there was no shame in being helped. We had the most heart filled conversation that day. We still struggle, and have loads of medical debt that are being judged currently but we're trying. And that is what I think those who scoff at people who need help really do not understand. They seem to think we're lazy, trying to live off others, and yet that is simply not the truth. I am unsure myself why we have world hunger. Even here in the USA, who brags about being the best country, we can't seem to make sure everyone is fed simply because of greed. Perhaps when we start allowing compassion to rule us, instead of capitalism, we'll see a change. Namaste dear friend, Anora

I know i may sound very idealistic but I really felt unfair when i realized that there are people getting sleep without any food from there stomach. I experienced it when i was so so I know how very awful it seems. I cant donate them anything but prayer. I just pray that god wont let them hungry all the time.

We are not progressing at all. Every person tries to protect their own interest that's why the rich tends to neglect the people living in poverty. We should be responsible for one another and also the people living in poverty should also help themselves.

You are right to say that more and more people are going hungry despite the advances that man has achieve. Why? Because it is foretold in the Bible that in the last days there will be hunger, earthquakes,wars and outbreak of diseases.This is because the so called leaders of our world are more interested in their own self agrandisement and not on how to bring about the welfare of the people.Some leaders may be trying hard to uplift the status of their countrymen but to no avail. Why? Because the Bible says in Revelation that earth now is ruled by satan the devil. And as such, the devil inculcates wicked things in human's mind. These war, this rebellion by the people against their gov't, and this gov'ts that are corrupt- these are the works of the devil.But soon the devil and the wicked ones will be destroyed by God in His Day of Judgement and the only the meek ones who obeyed God's commandments and requirement will inherit life everlasting.
