In the press, there’s been so much about obesity, diabetes
and the other diseases that result from eating too much of the wrong stuff. And sugar and saturated fat doesn’t just make
our youngsters physically ill, it can make their heads buzz so they can’t
concentrate on school work.
In the west, it’s a huge problem, yet in less affluent
countries kids also can’t concentrate on their schoolwork either. But it’s
not because they’ve eaten too much fast food – it’s because they don’t have enough
to eat!
A stunning report by Save the Children shows how malnutrition
affects not just a child’s physical development, but even their level of
literacy – making them less able to support themselves later in life. http://www.britmums.com/2013/05/save-the-children-and-food-for-thought/
Doesn’t it seem weird that in the West, we’re dying of a
glut of calories, while in other parts of the world, people are starving? Shouldn’t we just share?
And if that’s oversimplification, then I’m all for
oversimplification.
Hundreds of major charities have joined together to demand
that governments address issues of tax, land ownership, government deals and
aid to share out more equally the masses of food on this bountiful planet of
ours.
Join us!
Especially, join the June 8th march in London to raise awareness
amongst G8 leaders.
