My Thoughts on World Hunger

I don't believe that world hunger is a widely recognized issue. We talk of global warming, bad economies, wars, etcetera, but hardly ever do we mention hunger. Even stranger is that hunger is tied into all those topics. Poverty, disease, financial issues, and weather problems are all key causes of hunger. Also, many people assume that hunger is a problem that's far away, and therefore unimportant. Hunger is actually very close, and it is something that needs attention, and fast. Hunger, like a disease, is growing every year. It spreads to new areas, then new countries. How long will we ignore it-until it's right in front of our face? So now I'm asking people to spread the word. Feeling generous this holiday season? Donate some food; even one can is better than nothing. Maybe you could volunteer for a few hours at a food bank or something. It doesn't take a lot of effort, but please don't just ignore this serious issue.
