I attended a roundtable that focused upon world hunger and where we were at now. I knew that world hunger was already going down but I didn’t realize that there was now side-issues that were now being created overall. The most prominent being mentioned is the hunger being considered in first-world country. I didn’t know that there was a major problem of hunger not be regarded in first-world country sinces no one never thinks about it being in a heavily wealthy country. I even had a talk with a neighbor afterwards mentioning how things like soup kitchens and poverty overall are signs of a country being in hunger. The main thing I brought up though, was the cheap food and how it makes it look like someone is not starving even though it’s not a lot of calories at times.
Another interesting thing is that even though food may be cheap, but it is not healthy. There’s actually some statistics out there that correlate obesity with poverty because they can’t afford the healthy food. For developed countries, poverty needs to be seen from a different context
