There are of course many other places where people go hungry, in fact there are probably some hungry or malnourished people within 20 miles of where you are right now. T he truth is, there IS enough food to keep the world nourished, but it is distributed so poorly that over 800 million people worldwide suffer from a lack of it . T he problems with food distribution are most often caused by humans in the form of wars, revolutions, refugee movements, and other human conflicts. These destructive conflicts are closely related to a lack of good government or social structure in some countries which prevents people from working jointly and thereby gaining access to more resources, such as food. H unger is a problem that won't go away on its own.
People have to be more aware of the problem and ways in that they can help.
Also, governments at every level should fight hunger by running programs that get food to people who are suffering from hunger. Write your government's representatives in support of progressive hunger and poverty legislation. Here are directories for the US House of Representatives and the Senate . Through your church, sponsor a community-wide food drive for the poor. Support local efforts such as soup kitchens or Meals On Wheels .
