hunger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Try to imagine what it would be like if you were hungry and no food was available. None. Your body starts to feed on its own fat and body tissues. If you don’t eat for a long time, you may lose about 50 percent of your body weight. Your skin becomes thin, stiff, pale, and cold. Your hair becomes dry and sparse and falls out easily. After about 8 to 12 weeks without food, you starve to death.
Hungry people live everywhere: in mountains, plains, coasts and islands. There are hungry people in every region of the world. Here’s how the numbers break down: 

Sub-Saharan Africa: 204 million
Asia/Pacific: 156 million
India: 221 million
China: 142 million
Latin America/Caribbean: 53 million
Near East/North Africa: 39 million
Countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union: 28 million
Other industrialized countries: 9 million 
The causes of hunger  include famine, poverty, malnutrition, just to name a few.  Hunger is  becoming an issue we can't stop.  More and more people each year are dying of  hunger.  The death rate is astonishing.  It is amazing how something as simple as brittle  food can affect the world and become such a huge world issue.  You may find the answer to be quite simple.
