Famine Awareness

FACT: Everyday, around 16,000 children die for hunger related cases, which means 1 child every 5 seconds. Most of these children never stood a chance.

FACT: On average, 48,000,000 tons of food suitable for human consumption are thrown away every year, only in America (each American consumes about 2175 pounds of food per year), which is enough wasted food to feed 24,000 adults for a whole year.

NEXT TIME YOU PLAN A MEAL, REMEMBER THESE NUMBERS AND JUST TAKE WHAT YOU CAN EAT, PLEASE !!

Dedicated to Kevin Carter (R.I.P.) and the little girl who was crawling to a UN food camp followed by a vulture back in 1994...No one knows what happened to her.
