Why are so many people in the world starving?

Answer 1

Bad luck of being born poor, ignorant and insignificant to the ones who could feed them.

Answer 2

Not to be cruel but they did not practice birth control? And ignorance is the biggest problem? It is not religion that made them have that many children it is ignorance and sex. Why do Jewish people control the births in their families for 1000's of years? They are religious for 6000 years? Just a thought to ponder? Because they told me that it was because they could only have children if they could feed them and raise them properly? and that I find is true in their households as well. Look at Israel they are not over populating? Just with the Palestinians they are. I am American Christian and this is a fact to me and I apologize if it sounds biased but it is not, we can learn from other cultures, especially if they got it down and are smart. Look at the Arab countries all those wives how selfish and using a religion for an excuse? All those children they cant feed? And they have the richest people in the world and don't feed anyone but themselves. China has a billion people because MaoTse Tung wanted to build and Army to take over the world and the Red Communists would rule? Russia controlled their populas but they are starving because they are selfish too and cruel to their people.Africa is a forgone conclusion and they ended up over populating as well as south America and Mexico, Sex and birth control simple animal functions of human beings and they had no common sense at all. Abstinance is something taught in both Judaism and Catholisim right? But today there is no need with condoms, especially the countries like Mexico, South America et al? You are I in America of Great Britain, France, Euro for that matter are not responsible for the sex lives of these ignorant peoples but we keep supporting them, Americans that is and yet when we want to address the issues we are interferring? Is that right than to hell with them all? don't feed them anymore if they continue these inhumane practices. It is a sin to bring a child in this world to starve, just like the deer that you see in the winter suffering in the snow because he is starving because there are no more preditors for the balance of nature? Well I hate war and I think that is ignorant, but now that is the answer to feed the world , lower the populations, not us doing it but they are doing it to themselves. They have been doing this forever, so they know what they are doing, it is that the rich are at the top of the food chain, just like the wolves and they will survive believe me.

Answer 3

Because people choose to raise children into poverty. To me it is the greatest sin in the world. Of course we all have the right to have children but when there are no resources for a decent existence why? I heard the story a hundred times from my father, good catholics have big families and they don't use birth control. I tell you what, when you are wondering at 5 years old why the other kids think you different and their parents don't want you hanging with their children because you are poor, it makes you want to think twice about uncontrolled birth control. In Africa some men have 50 children when they can't support 1. Don't you want to raise children in a stable environment? Call me what ever you want but I will not raise a child into poverty and shame. There is no worse feeling in the world than to know that the odds are against you for success and in the worst case scenario the basics for life. My heart goes out to the poor masses but the system is flawed. No society should procreate beyond their capacity.

Answer 4

Why do these same people keep making starving children? We live in a world that expects something from these people like natural resources.What's in it for us? Who will feed us when we are hungry?Strange how certain cultures like Africa still manage to thrive.Maybe it's the handouts over all of these years which seems so futile yet keeps them this way also.I have heard of this nearly all of my life since school age.What's changed since then? When someone mentions famine most picture Africa. Many countries seem more interested in turning grain or fields into alcohol for fuel instead of food. What will happen if global warming turns food growing Fields into waste lands and deserts instead? Maybe one day these rich people will only have their money to eat?

Answer 5

god has created enough food for all humans, animals, birds etc. But humans are accumulating wealth, more than they need in a life time. This is depriving some of their daily bread.
It is a shame on modernity, that with so many technological break thoughs, still we do not have a formula to ensure that there is no starvation in this world.

Answer 6

So many people are starving because we horde ourselves in developed countries. If everyone were to be equal in this world then all developed countries would have to give up more than 3/4th of what they have. This is due to overpopulation and overcrowding, our world will dwindle into vast deserts if the population continues to grow at its current rate. Also if you look at say the population in Africa compared to Canada or USA, it is obviously apparent that Africa's population outweighs Canada's or USA's significantly yet We in North America have a lot more than Africa does, so there is an imbalance of resources allocated to population size. Sad Really.

Answer 7

some countries dont have an economy built as strong as u.s. or other successful countries. with no smart leader to sweet-talk other countries to give them money to start them off and build an established country. its all about money, a country needs to be able to provide something or create a system that works, but with third-world starving countries, none of that is established.

Answer 8

because civilizations are divided and have developed a different rates. There are millions of people who live in places where the farming is bad and they have not developed the technological means to speed things up or make things efficient.

Answer 9

Because #1: there are too many people....hence all the new diseases in places like Africa and India where there are very heavy population-densities.
Because #2: those people (the too many) are lazy.

Answer 10

alot of people are starving because of other people who are corrupt and some are abusing to the opportunities intended for the needy.
