NEED TO KNOW | The silent epidemic of malnutrition | PBS

[Nueroactive]

And the media that people consume in certain areas starve the souls. Lots of food in the USA but toxins "on air" (media) that stir up the people to kill one another. Cruel shaming via media is everyday as a ready staple to sicken the people from helping. As cynism is induced via programming/ mind manipulations work to make us more and more disgusting to the world.The media pits the nations by feeding them lies.Your soul nutrition is so limited you return to toxic media.(Doc evil's recipes)

despite all that, there are plenty of children in america who are malnourished and i dont mean theyre starving but rather are not getting the nutrients they need to physically grow up healthily and properly. im saying what america is doing, treating non american children with a different standard, as being right and the us can improve on what theyre doing now but where is the rest of the world? the countries that need the aid need to clean up their corrupt gov and deliver the aid where its neede

if it were up to some companies-Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Mars would create liquid diets for those people. they can sure get their candy bars and crap there without a problem.

she just learned of it 7 years ago-where has she been? this is not new. many places are monopolized in one way or another-either by governments or companies that cause many limitations both to and from the people. the problems won't change until those things change and the people are educated enough to know what to fight for and feel they have a right to fight for because they are humans just as anyone else in any part of the world.

I dunno, I'm just contemplating.

I really have no clue how to solve this dilemma.

It all really challenges your values and ideals...

Ah well, I appreciate being informed and given something to think about!

<3 PBS

Seems this all comes to the economy of resources and how to best optimize nutrition.

Can the resources of the world properly sustain humanity as it stands now? If not and many of the people in impoverished countries died out then would we all be well-fed and content... or would the 1st world countries just expand their quality of life and a new segment of humanity would be malnourished?

If this suffering should end maybe we should all be eating that paste...

But should the government enforce it?

If "religion" has any worth at all, there should be no Cathedrals, Temples, Mosques, etc.. And certainly no Vatican. All of these places of worship should be sold, and the money turned into FOOD. Their very existence represents the antithesis of their own creeds and the epitome of hypocrisy... they are monuments to mankind's greedy, self-centered and selfish behavior.

@grizzzlyjoe we live in a capitalist world.... altruism is a massive problem because true humanitarians are very few and far between. Malnutrition is the biggest pandemic throughout the world. In Westernized worlds we are eating crap, thus being malnourished in a deceitful manner. Sure the $1 menu is better than no food, but what about the religion of money? It's a sickness that we are plagued with.

Religion can be a beautiful institution. It sets morals and instills values in the masses.

How much is a child's life worth? Well... if I had to, I would shield any child from lethal injury even if that meant I would die, so... I guess they're are worth my own life. As Jesus said, "It's easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than it is for a wealthy man to enter the Gates of Heaven." It should be prohibited (world-wide) for any person to have control of more money than they need to live a reasonably comfortable life. If that makes me a communist, so be it...!
