Bjorn's Fasting Fun (last post)

The Hunger Challenge was very tough for me. I felt a glimpse of how hunger affects the world, feeling the hunger pains and the lack of energy really helped me understand the statement that we talked about in class "When people are hungry, their brains do not function to full potential." Not only did the lack of energy and brain power bring me down but the short periods of hunger pains was the body's way of telling me that its time for a meal did a number on me as well. Feeding the poor is definitely important but I think more money should be put into helping these poorer nations develop the skills and ability to produce food for themselves. Since doing the challenge a greater sense of empathy been developed for the world's hungry.
