World Hunger Day 2025
 |
Today is World Hunger Day.
It happens each May 28 since 2011 under the auspices of The Hunger Project in an attempt to qwell the hunger pangs of everyone on the face of the earth.
The Hunger Project estimates that 820 million people are suffering from chronic hunger and the resulting malnutrition it cultivates in a population.
The issue of world hunger has been around for as long as I can remember. Diminished food intake over time can result in various health issues.
The causes of hunger in the world population include low incomes, famine, drought, and political unrest.
So if you can aid another who is hungry it is a valiant effort on your part if you do.
If you cannot — at least give your empathy for the plight of the hungry. I have never suffered from prolonged hunger and therefore cannot attest to the discomfort of not having enough to eat.
I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones on the planet.
