What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

We all know that there are families and children in other countries who are in dire need to gaining more food and other basic necessities. Here are links to lots of volunteer programs that can take you to other countries:

But we also know that there are plenty of people in need who right around us. I live in Oakland, CA, are I go to Bishop O'Dowd and part of our credits are devoted to volunteering. As sophomores, we have to go to volunteer programs with children. I really suggest that everyone go volunteer with some children who are in need.
