I just visited the website worldometers.info and I found these numbers that are quite interesting, stupid, annoying, and shocking at the same time.
It is just how manking is, but there are nearly 900,000,000 undernourished people in the world. That is a tragedy, and sitting in the western world and eating your hamburger, accompanied by some Coca-Cola and some chips, that makes you feel bad, doesn't it. But, is there really anything we can do about it?
And yes, then you have twice as many people who feel disgusted by the fact that so many people are undernourished. But, while they feel sorry for them, they are fighting their own problem... overweight. Can you just imagine what would happen if the people suffering from obesity and overweight would share their food with those undernourished? Of course, it doesn't work like that, and it is a "stupid" thought, but just looking at those numbers still makes me think of how unfair the world is. All those people, both those undernourished and those overweight suffer as they are a part of this list, but at the same time, they could also help each other to solve the problem.
I know, it doesn't work like that, and it's not like the obese person can just skip buying his chips and send it to Mario suffering from undernourishment in the ghetto of Calcutta in India... but still.
What do you think?
