A world without hunger
The sharing experiment shows us how much we can still learn from the children of this world. Two kids get a sandwich. What do you do?
According to a study by the Ministry of Consumer Protection, Germans throw around 82 kilograms of food into the bin every year. At the same time, how can people still be hungry in a world where food is abundant? Food should land on empty plates instead of in the bin.
In one country there is overproduction, while in another person hungry go to bed. It is a paradox that starvation is still an issue today. But that is and rightly so, with an estimated 3.5 million children still dying each year from malnutrition. People starve to death while their fellow human beings are overweight. How can that be?
The sharing experiment is thought-provoking
The organization "Action Against Hunger" has carried out a test in the Spanish capital. In Madrid, twenty children were invited to an experiment. In pairs, they were left alone in a room. In front of them are two plates, covered with hoods. Only one of them has a sandwich - the other plate is empty. The reactions of the children are as simple as they are impressive: all children share their snack with each other. The fact that a child eats the sandwich alone, is not at all a couple at all to the question. Sharing is natural.
Sometimes it's the youngest people we can learn from most . At what point in life is consciousness lost to one another? If every human acted like the children in the video, no one in the world would suffer more hunger.
