Differences in food insecurity between UK, USA and India and Pakistan.

        Countries view food insecurity in different ways. A person is food insecure when they do not know where there next meal is coming from. 

In countries like India and Pakistan, where big families are common, it is hard to provide sufficient food for all the members. In places like India and Pakistan people are not able to afford food because of the lack of education. A family in India and Pakistan prioritize food over education. When a child does not get an education, he then later will not be able to get a proper job to provide for his family. This cycle will continue, keeping the poor in the same situation for generations. Unlike countries like the USA and the UK, Indian and Pakistan do not have food shelters where the hungary can go and fill their bellies 5 times a week. Children along with their parents often have to go to bed hungary. 

It is hard to imagine that people are insecure in countries like the USA. According to the video our class watched, 50 million Americans face food insecurity because of the financial crisis. These people are out of jobs and do not have enough money in order to provide food for themselves. However, there are food shelters where meals are given to people. In the USA people's life has changed because of the financial crisis. These people were used to having meals everyday, however, now they face a choice between feeding their children or themselves. Having never faced such situations before, it must be hard for people to deal with not having food and going to a food shelter in order to get food.
