Yeah man it is really hard to imagine
I dont know but I think the most common cause is hunger
did you know that the waste just in Germany is enough to feed all of them ????
I think in Iran we have the same problem
(not the hunger but the waste of food)
______________________________
the deficiency of food has many aspects and reasons
many of them are not under our control ( like drought etc.) but we in the developed countries are also some how guilty
As you know normally there are helps from UN and EU to Africa
this helps are not always financial , but very often in form of food
you might think it is be good helping a country in this way but there is a little problem
we in the modern world have influence of the life in Africa
and we are some how responsible for the suffering of all this people
WE with our consumption
You know in Africa and in many other countries which are affected by hunger we see a very weak
producing layer that means that we don't have any people ( farmers) who produce important elementary food like
wheat etc.ä
instead they produce luxury goods like coffee or kakau
the question is now, why do they produce this goods instead wheat which is actually much important
the answer is easy:
they get more money for this kind of goods (kakau)l
so we are in the developed countries are also responsible
think of it when you are next in the supermarket standing before the many types of chocolate
I hope it wasn't too long
