WORLD FOOD DAY

World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world on 16 October in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. The World Food Day theme for 2014 is Family Farming: “Feeding the world, caring for the earth”. 

Everyone deserves the right to have enough food that's of the right quality and quantity, regardless of age, race or gender.

These are some quotes about hunger and where we all stand:

 "When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political, or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread."- Desmond Tutu

“I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one." - Mother Teresa 

“There is only one rule by which to judge if God is near us or is far away – the rule that God's word is giving us today: everyone concerned for the hungry, the naked, the poor, for those who have vanished in police custody, for the tortured, for prisoners, for all flesh that suffers, has God close at hand.  We have the ability, we have the means, and we have the capacity to eliminate hunger from the face of the earth. We need only the will." - John F. Kennedy, United States President

I support the notion that states: "When it comes to hunger, the only acceptable number is zero"
