This is a great talk by Sheeran on the realities of hunger in the developing world.
Every day, 1/7th of humanity, about a billion people, wakes up hungry and does not know
how they are going to get their daily meal. This figure (though im sure disputable) is simply staggering.
Every ten second, a child is lost to hunger. There is enough food on the earth to provide nutrition
to every man, woman, and child. The problem is greed. Hoarding. Distribution. Commodity speculation. "80% of the people in the world have no food safety net."
Introducing food into schools is an extremely effective way of both combating hunger and increasing school enrollment, especially amongst girls, as well as supporting local farmers if the food is locally mandated.
"To a hungry man, a piece of bread is the face of god."
-Gandhi
"Famines happen in the presence of food people have no ability to buy it."
-Amartya Sen
