\The Rise of Hunger at the Los Angeles County Area Though it is a sad truth, U.S. citizens in the Los Angeles County are not being ale to eat, causing hunger. Author Alexandra Zavis's article from LA Times, “Hunger touches more than 1.7 million in Los Angeles.” Zavis had claimed that definite amount of people cannot afford to feed themselves or their kids. Study that found, most people are struggling and cannot offer plentiful food for a healthy lifestyle for all the household members because of the qualifications of getting federal nutrition welfares. Zavis says more than half of Californians do not qualify for food stamps by the low income families that argue to what they can make on the end of the days, one of the examples Zavis explains
There are abut 47 million people on food stamps. Also more than eighty percent of the people that are on food stamps have a monthly income that is below the poverty line( ). Food stamps have also taken a cut in how much money they give out. This has become a big problem because people on food stamps are already struggling enough as it is and then when the food stamp company takes more money away from a family it makes it even harder for them to get food and provide for their family. Food stamps are also not accepted everywhere.
The most common cause of anemia is a lack of iron in one's body. According to the website Globalization 101, 56% of women in the world are anemic, and that number rises to a whopping 76% of women in South and Southeast Asia. Anemic women are at greater risk of “infant mortality rates” and premature birth of their children. Vitamin A is another necessity that a person simply cannot live without, and a vitamin that is not distributed evenly around the world. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) causes 250,000 to 500,000 children to go blind each year (most of these children live in impoverished countries).
The Great Depression didn't just end all at once. Many countries continued to suffer extreme poverty long after the governments declared the depression was over. When banks and businesses were forced to close down, it left millions of hardworking individuals without jobs and that then caused them to suffer financial hardship. With no way to earn money, many people could not pay their bills or buy food and needed help from the government to survive. The public were begging for some sort of program that would help them recover and hopefully gain back what they had lost.
Power Of Starvation Imagine going to bed without any food in your stomach. Then waking up and having to eat 1\12 of a small loft of bread. 30% of the population in Afghanistan deal with this situation almost every single day. Since there is not enough food to eat there are people dying of starvation, and trying to fill their stomach with anything they can find. Hunger in Afghanistan leads to the death of a lot of people each day.
The world population is growing faster than food can be produced. There are many countries that are starving because they can’t produce food. Some countries lack the money for research, education, or the land space. All across the world people are starving to death and this is the century that needs to fix it. There are countries like the U.S., Japan, and China that can educate other countries.
Growing up in a town that is heavily populated with low income families, I felt like I had seen most of the struggles first hand not knowing all the issues behind and kept inside the homes of each family. I feel like it is a major issue in America and not enough is being done to help stop it. Food availability is something that goes at the top of the chain. If food is not available then hunger sets in, which results in not getting adequate nutrition. Even though that is a simple chain it causes a tremendous amount of health issues for many
Everywhere you go, poverty can be found. There are families living on the streets because they can’t afford a house. A few families are starving and cold because they lost everything they own in this economic depression. The reason is because rich people won’t spend a few of their dollars to help our economic situation while the poor put forth everything they had. I believe that it would be in the world’s best interest if state governments would hire thieves to steal from the rich and give to the poor.
Poverty affects millions of people worldwide; some places more than others. But what exactly is poverty and what are the causes of it? According to Wikipedia, Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean and fresh water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter, because of the inability to afford them. This is also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution. About 1.7 billion people live in absolute poverty.
Everyday we live in fear of relocation. Our people are dying from disease due to lack of food and supplies. We are lacking in food because the government is building in our forests and killing our game for pleasure and food alone. Our resources grow low but there are only certain times a year we are able to safely move ourselves. This is not one of those times so our old are cold and dying and our young are hungry and angry.
