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!

Food and Hunger in Our Society
All around the world, these issues are prevalent in our society today. Some people have more than others, and I think the people who have more should give to those in need to create a well-functioning world.
I totally agree. 80% of humanity lives on under $10 a day and struggle to feed themselves and their family. Here in America, the food we do have available for low income families is full of unhealthy fillers, preservatives, calories, and chemicals that are the reason why minorities are struggling with obesity, heart disease, and diabetes at the highest rates. There is no reason why there should be millionaires with money to burn while we're dealing with problems like these.
I agree. Those how have plenty of food sometimes take it for granted and waste lots of food that could be eaten by other people. Especially food that is uneaten in households should be donated to any local food banks or to an organization with a bigger purpose. This helps reduce the amount of starving people in the world if done worldwide.
