...and in some of the impoverished regions of the world, the worry is simple, to find another meal and survive another day....

When is the last time you donated to your food bank? Well, the question these days is simple:
Will there be enough food, clean water, shelter,
education and a decent quality of life for the
seven billion people now living on earth?

Back in 1804, the world population was thought
to be one billion. By 2083 we expect 10 billion.
China has the most people currently at 1.34 billion
but no doubt to soon be overtaken by India with
its present 1.2 billion.

Some say a future war would be about food?
We need to be concerned. But the worry involves
every nation on this small planet, more particular
the more populated ones. (Sex-selective abortions
have caused China to have 43 million fewer girls).
Is abortion the answer?  Canada has free and
accessible abortion. Obama favors abortion rights
in the U.S.

Basically, people are getting very tired of hearing
daily up and down reports on the economy, tired
of hearing about yet another soldier killed overseas
and basically very worried about the future.

However, in some impoverished countries, the worry is very simple: where to next the next meal,
and how to survive yet, another day.

We should be worried!!! Yet, in small ways, each
of us can address the problem. How can we
help? Let me hear your ideas!!!
