This video really upsets me because Why are there packs of Cigarettes on the second girls table. While the women and africa treats herself last to FOOD!!! Could have done without the first half of this video. We have warmth and handouts, In other countries families sleep on hard concrete cold floors with no food!

AMURRRICA FUCK YEAH!

For someone who can't afford food for her and her children  that black woman is awfully fat

Things like milk and fish have to be produced locally. Milk, fish, etc. spoil very quickly and could only be shipped and stored long term in powdered or dehydrated form. Poverty stricken areas around the world actually have the capacity to produce these foods locally but things like politics, wars, corrupt local governments, these things prevent production.

Part 2 of this video is a little off-putting. It seems to express a negative attitude, and not enough facts to adequately explain the situation. I would love to hear the complete message, albeit with more of a "let's move to make this happen" kind of attitude.

I'm glad that the family @2m27s are getting hand outs, now they can afford cigarettes and McDonalds.

I do understand that we need to give them better food than rice but how would we be able to give them fish and milk which quickly spoils with out proper and expensive cooling systems. We cannon even offer most meats such as beef or chicken due to the fact that it will spoil with in a few days.

@TheRipmister MSF would like food donors to provide a fortified peanut butter paste mixed with milk powder to young children. It doesn't need to be refrigerated and can be cheaply produced in host countries. This has already been used to treat hundreds of thousands of children.

I was also struck by the significance that food plays in calming, soothing and developing the bond between parent and child. In my neighbourhood, it is evident that some parents regard making and providing food as a chore at best - to get out of the way as quickly as possible and, combined with limited income for food, the impact on the child must be severe. I don't know what can be done about this....

There are some great pictures here. It may even deserve a few more seconds per picture to take the quality in....

Malnutrition shouldn't exist in a first-world nation. This problem wouldn't *be* a problem if we stepped up and helped our neighbours, and if we rejected this insidious "every man for himself" trend.

Which is the basis of your economy..

Some of the Indian reservations are even worse. Running sewage in the streets can give you a clear idea on how bad it is.

Great: 3:36. "From a physician's perspective, physiology is the same the world around. So, the nutritional needs of a child in Sudan are the same as the nutritional needs of a child in Philadelphia." 5:16 "While this corn-soybean cereal blend relieve may hunger, it's not the right food to treat malnutrition in young children."
