There is no arguing that poverty and hunger are major problems in our world. 12.2% of Americans do not currently have the financial stability to provide reliable sources of food for their families. I do not think there is an educated person on this planet that would deny that hunger and starvation are serious problems. The question then becomes what to do about this problem. As to the article about the Spanish Funds that were originally earmarked for Africa going to the United Nations, I find nothing wrong with this. If the Spanish Government feels that their own tax payers’ money would be of better use to citizens of Spain by going to the United Nations, then there is where the money should be going. It is, in the end, the Spanish tax payers’ money and it should help them. Anyone who criticizes this action should take a long look at the United States Budget and realize the hypocrisy in their statement.
By no means do I have a solution to hunger problem of the world. In truth, there is enough land and resources to provide food for every single person in the world. However, it is not economically practical. What benefit does a person have to growing food if they will not be reimbursed for their time and effort? Unless someone is willing to pay for the entire world to eat, then we are at a standstill.
