Today i was sitting in class and being the wonderful student i am; i was surfing the internet and came across many world hunger videos that just broke my heart. Many of us have come across these many times before in our lifetime but think nothing of them other than ," thats sad wish we could stop that" ; well to many it seems like a lofty irreversible challenge but what if it wasn't such a challenge would we actually do something about it? According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) it would take $30 Billion a year to launch agricultural programs to completely solve the world hunger puzzle that many cant seem to put together. Although that grand sum of money seems to be alot put it into Wall Street terms, we as Americans bailed out Wall Street for 23 times that amount.

Many may say well where would we get this money from since we as a nation are already broke? Well great question, but; EcoSalon did some digging on what we spend our money on and how much we infact do spend and the findings were astonishing.$1 trillion a year is spent on military expenditures globally and roughly $540 billion is from the US alone, $23.4 Billion goes to The United States Department of Energy to develop and maintain nuclear warheads, but its not all Americas fault; the United Kingdoms wastes $31.7 billion US dollars worth of food every year. Can we stop world hunger if globally we all got on board? I think it is certainly attainable.

Put aside religion, race, nationality, status, etc and see people for who they really are HUMAN!! We all have one thing in common and that is we are all in this world together and people need our help. Will we rises to the call? Lets be a generation that brings change!
