Hunger Stalks The Poor

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SO HUNGRY THAT A CAN OF SOUP OR A LOAF OF WHITE BREAD SEEMS LIKE A FEAST? I HAVE. 

WHEN GANDHI SPOKE THESE WORDS, INDIA WAS MIRED IN SUCH EXTREME POVERTY THAT MY IDEA OF HUNGER AND THE EXTREME HUNGER AND FAMINE THE POOR EXPERIENCE IN THE THIRD WORLD IS A VASTLY DIFFERENT CONCEPT. 

LACK OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND ADEQUATE FOOD TO SUSTAIN HUMAN LIFE LED MANY PEOPLE TO GET DISEASES THAT RAVAGED THEIR BODIES AND LED TO EARLY DEATH. ALONG WITH THE LACK OF CLEAN DRINKING WATER, HYGIENE, AND MEDICINE THE POOR AND DESTITUTE OF THESE BACKWARDS COUNTRIES NOW RELY ON HANDOUTS FROM THE MORE DEVELOPED NATIONS TO ERADICATE THE GHOULS THAT HAVE HAUNTED HUMANKIND FOR CENTURIES.
