People die from starvation everyday. There are parts all over the world where people do not have enough to eat. Do not have enough to eat! Can you even believe that? In a world where people have cell phones with the internet and cars with voice technology and heated seats – there are still people who do not have enough food to eat. Man, if only we had a solution to the problem of starvation…
Oh, wait. We do. The solution is simple: give food to people who do not have it. And we not only have the solution, but we have the resources, too. Is there a shortage of food in the world? Are we rationing it out for each of the 7 billion people? Are we running out? No. We have food. We have more than enough food. In the developed countries, we throw away tons of food every single day. We have the solution. We have the resources. And we have the money, too. There is enough money to send the food to the right places and get it to the right people. There is enough money to make all of these things happen. We have the solution. We have the resources. We have the money. And finally, we have the people. There are more than enough people in the world with good hearts who want to end starvation. It is not like there is a shortage of people to help with this effort.
We have the solution to end starvation. We have the resources to make that solution happen. We have the money to pull everything off. And we have the people to carry it out. We have everything that we need to end starvation.
Now we just have to freaking do it. No more starvation.
