I wanted to use this weekly blogpost to talk
about a paradoxical issue. Indeed, nowadays more than 842 million people are
starving to death. Many families around the world have nothing to eat and go
most of the time to bed (if they have one) hungry. Solving this problem should
be the priority of every country but unfortunately, as you can imagine, it is
far from being the case. It sometimes gets on my nerves to see that in the
media, journalists are most of the time granting more importance to random things
such as the Hallydays’ inheritance instead of talking about burning issues and
launching awareness campaigns to try to help the people in need… But there is
even worse than that. In fact, we are living in a dangerous society in which we
are pushed to buy more and more. Therefore while some people have no food nor
clean and safe water to drink, others are wasting a huge amount of still edible
food and some are overweight or suffering from obesity. How can one explain
this huge gap? Personally I can’t.
Solving the hunger problem is a huge challenge
but everyone can, should, must contribute for we, you have the lives of those
people in your hands…
