    Many people claim that is would be impossible to end world hungry as a whole. I find this mindset very problematic. We have people buying personal planes that cost 300 million dollars, and a boat that costs 200 million dollars. Imagine what could have been done with that money all over the world, rather than spent on a plane and boat that is used maybe twice a year. The base of this problem I believe is the individual.…

    Hunger in almost all nations, including the Unites States of America, is caused by poverty or a host of things that interact with poverty. These causes can be, but are not limited to discrimination, lack of power, corruption of government officials, war, environmental overload, and scarcity of resources. Unfortunately for most of the world, discrimination still exists and can cause biases when handing out food aid. In America’s case, lack of power and corruption of government officials are not a problem anymore, but environmental overload and scarce resources are still problems today (Hauptmann, Cole). As Americans, building houses on farmland for our expanding population and using more water than necessary.…

    When a person thinks of hunger typically their mind goes to a third world country, where a sad, hungry child sit alone in the rain begging for food. Most people’s minds leave our country and travel halfway around the world to see the face of hunger. Our minds never stay close to home when we think of someone who is hungry. This is probably because we live in America one of the richest and fattest countries in the world. How could anyone go hungry in a land where there is over 14,000 McDonalds?…

    Johnathan Foer in "Let Them Eat Dog" suggests that to solve hunger, individuals within society should eat the millions of dogs that are going to be euthanized in shelters. In Johnathan Swift 's argument, "A Modest Proposal", he suggests that Ireland combat the famine during that time by using the surplus of children as a food source. " Let Them Eat Dog" and "A Modest Proposal" are arguments written satirically to inform society of a historically long problem, indifference. Foer and Swift call upon society to recognize the problem, to move society to care about finding a solution, and to inform society of the inefficiency of instinctual thinking. These proposals were made because, they not only offer a solution to hunger, but do so in a quick, cost efficient manner.…

    Improving accountability will require a clean allocation of responsibilities and time frames for the progressive realization of ending hunger.” The lack of widespread knowledge about hunger in America allows the United States legislators to continue to ignore the devastating problem. The fourth step is to “ensure the adequate public participation in the development, implementation, and evaluations of a national strategy to end hunger” (Chilton & Rabinowich, 2010, para, 12). Obviously, a nations plan demands all of everyone’s participation. Every individual should participate in ending hunger; not as an act of charity, but as an act of…

    should devote more resources to ending hunger at home because it is causing the nation as a whole to suffer. The decision to devote more resources to end hunger in the U.S. would strengthen the workforce by making students more likely to succeed which would boost the nation’s economy. Naysayers will say that people are lazy and need to work more or that maybe people should sign up for entitlement programs such as WIC or SNAP. Statements such as that demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the problem. In no way does the word lazy represent the nature of the working class people.…
