 STARVATION

Starvation is one of the problems that affects millions of people in many countries.
It IS not enough to pity those who starve. Governments of rich countries should
understand the graVity of the problem and ought to find a rational solution.
Wouldn't it be possible for them to exhibit more generosity? An overwhelming
part of some crops are sometimes wasted in richer countries. The wasted food
could save the Ilves of millions of people all over the world.
