2 Myths about hunger: Claudia Rocco & Kayla Graham
Myth 1:Not Enough Food to Go Around
There is an abundance of food. There is enough wheat, rice, and grain produced to provide every human being with 3500 calories a day. There is enough food to provide at least 4.3 pounds of food per person a day worldwide.
Myth 2: Nature's to Blame for Famine
Food is always there for people who can afford it; poor people/countries are the only ones who will get hit with hunger in hard times. Deaths are rarely caused by natural events, although they may help "assist" the cause of death. The economy is the real culprit because it fails to offer everyone equal opportunities.
