According to UNICEF 30,000 children die due to poverty per day. That would make for nearly 11, 000,000 deaths per year. Is there anyone on this planet who can justify this in any way? It is absolutely astonishing to me that we can allow such a thing to happen with the food reserves we have. Would it be tough to accomplish? Of course it would. Someone has to pay the farmers for their product. It has to be distributed. That is no easy task. But, could it be done? No doubt about it.
We spend trillions on wars, bridges to nowhere, and tax write offs to the top 1%. We waste billions on face lifts, beauty creams, and high priced tennis shoes. Yet 30,000 children die because of poverty. That is not only shameful, it is a crime. It is murder.
It's only 3,000. We have to sacrifice.
