World Food Day

Hi there,
Today, let's update with something interesting...

How many of us know that 16th October has been celebrated as the World Food Day?

Well...World Food Day is celebrated on 16th October every year all around the world so as to remember the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. The day has been celebrated in many ways by people living in many countries with different themes every year. In 1981, the theme was Food Comes First....till of late as "Social Protection and Agriculture: Breaking the Cycle of Rural Poverty" in 2015.  This celebration also has a purpose of raising awareness on poverty and hunger faced by many people in the world. 


World population has been on rise of late and the need for food supply is increasing tremendously. As for those affordable ones, they can pay as much as they could to get food supply for their family. Unfortunately for those who are not capable of buying food for their family, they have no other choice than to borrow money or food and some are even let to starve. We know that there are still countries with its citizens starving and even dying of hunger for they lack food supply. These people are not only starving and dying solely due to lack of food, but they die due to malnutrition which brings in many serious health problems. People living in a state of poverty have not much choice other than to wait for food supply to be donated. For this purpose, soup kitchen has been playing their role all this while to remedy the situation. 

So..we should be thankful for having a plate of meal on our table and NEVER WASTE FOOD as there are many people in need of it...
