I guess I don't want to forget about being hungry because I don't want to forget where I came from, Jen. I want to be grateful for many things that I have today, not just food. Why do I think having too much food around can be bad for us? Sometimes when we have too much food or other things around make us less grateful, we take them for granted . We consume food more than we need which makes us become obese. We become obsess with food, especially when the food taste so yummy! That's what I think, Jen. But I could be wrong about this idea too. I just don't remember ever had any friend who was overweight when I was growing up in Indonesia because we were very poor. But today, I see a lot of overweight kids around because there are a lot of food available. Do you have any idea what we should do about this dilemma, Jen? I wish I could solve this problem. But I have no idea how...
Rita, I'm sorry you and your family experienced hunger. I'm glad that you have what you need now. It's a dilemma , knowing what to do about poverty. We can give non perishable food to the local food bank. They're becoming more and more important. Barbara
Yes Jen, good idea. We can ask people to give our extra food to the hungry. We have only lived as modern humans for a few thousand years. Our bodies are still designed to go for periods without food and to store food when we have it in the form of fat. Our bodies don't know how to stop doing that. That's why when there is a lot of food around people tend to eat too much which causes them to get fat. I don't know what the solution to this dilemma is. You have any ideas? Dad
