Hello, everyone! Today, I'll show you the part of my book that I am interested in .The part is about food and social inequality. Apart from the general food supply, which can be disturbed by crop-failure or other natural or human disasters like wars, the problem of the distribution of food is at least as important. Plenty and want throught history have never been distributed equally within the population. As we know there are people who have too much food and people who cannot eat anything and die. To solve this problem, I think people who can eat anything every day like us or people especially in developed countries should not import too much food from developing countries and wadste of food. And people who cannot eat enough food can become to eat more.What do you think about it? See you again!
