Those who wish for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world are helping to make ending world hunger a major
priority... Together we can end
hunger.
There are genuinely sufficient resources in the world to ensure that no one, nowhere, at no time, should go hungry.
"It is important for people to realize that we can make progress against world hunger, that world hunger is not hopeless. The worst enemy is apathy."
The American fast food diet and the meat eating habits of the wealthy around the world support a world food system that diverts food resources from the hungry. A diet higher in whole grains and legumes and lower in beef and other meat is not just healthier for ourselves but also contributes to changing the world system that feeds some people and
leaves others hungry.-- Dr.Walden Bello
Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.
School feeding not only fills stomachs, but has a proven track record of boosting enrolment, attendance and academic performance.
For just pennies a day per child, this program changes lives – and ultimately can impact the futures of poor countries around the world in a profound way.
If you want to eliminate hunger, everybody has to be involved
The first essential component of social
justice is adequate food for all mankind.
Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.
If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but
at the same time cultivate the fields to produce more bread; otherwise there will
be no peace.
"If we are going to stop wars on this earth, we are going to have to make war on hunger our number one priority."
The dual scourge of hunger and malnutrition will be truly vanquished not only when granaries are full, but also when people's basic health needs are met and women are given
their rightful role in societies.
A safe and nutritionally adequate diet is a basic individual right and an essential condition for sustainable development, especially in developing countries.
Most of our citizenry believes that hunger only affects people who are lazy or people who are just looking for a handout, people who dont' want to work, but, sadly, that is not true. Over one-third of our hungry people are innocent children who are members of
households that simply cannot provide enough food or proper nutrition. And to think of the elderly suffering from malnutrition is just too
hard for most of us. Unlike Third World nations, in our country the problem is not having too little – it is about not caring
enough! Write your elected representatives and promote support for the hungry.
-- Erin Brockovich
"There will never cease to be ferment in the world unless people are sure of their food."
When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint.
When you ask why the poor have no
food, they call you a communist.
"We know that a peaceful world cannot long exist, one-third rich and two-thirds hungry."
