OVERPOPULATION AND OIL DEPLETION WILL CAUSE GLOBAL FAMINE!

Much of the Holy Bible is devoted to those trying to survive famine
or epidemics. Recall Noah's divine task of Saving as many species as
possible, and adopt it as your own mission in life. Don't forget the
example of Moses, who instructed his people how to survive the ten
plagues, as well as the lack of food and water in the wilderness.
Don't forget Joseph, who advised his countrymen how to survive a
coming seven-year famine.

Some Mormons have been wise enough to store food, but still can't
figure out the recycling part of our survival techniques. This
starvation scenario is only as far away as the next gasoline
shipment to your local gas station. Only a few months without
gasoline would kill off most of the world's population. The lucky
survivors would no doubt be farmers, living in the countryside.

Edgar Cayce prophesied that it would be wise to move to rural areas
as soon as possible, for the purpose of growing your own food, while
escaping the starving masses in the city. As for those of us who are
poor, only a slight increase in the present price of $4 a gallon for
gas, would be life-threatening. We are all living on the precarious
precipice of karmic debts coming due.

Remember our recycling techniques. Don't wait until too late to
begin recycling your medicinal fluids and calories. Double your
caloric-fluid "mileage" in the car which is your body. Remember the
text in Djoser's Step Pyramid, that, after completing such a Tantric
diet-fast: "The people were even happier than they were before the
famine.": Pleasure beyond petty possessions, which atheists and
infidels can't believe! Jai Om. - Sw. Tantrasangha

About Hunger
http://www.thehungersite.com

This was the state of world hunger and food insecurity in June of
1999, the year that The Hunger Site was created to help combat
hunger.

International Hunger Facts
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related
causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty
years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of
five. The Hunger Project, United Nations

In 1999, 10% of children in developing countries died before the age
of five. This was down from 28% fifty years ago. CARE

Famine and wars cause just 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend
to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger
deaths are caused by chronic malnutrition. Families simply cannot
get enough to eat. This in turn is caused by extreme poverty. The
Institute for Food and Development Policy

Besides death, chronic malnutrition also causes impaired vision,
listlessness, stunted growth and greatly increased susceptibility to
disease. Severely malnourished people are unable to function at even
a basic level. United Nations World Food Programme (WFP)

In 1999, it was estimated that one billion people in the world
suffered from hunger and malnutrition, about 100 times as many as
those who actually died from it each year. Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

According to the 1996 World Food Summit, 840 million people live in
the condition of chronic, persistent hunger, one-seventh of our
human family. The vast majority of hungry people live in South Asia
and sub-Saharan Africa.

Often it takes just a few simple resources for impoverished people
to be able to grow enough food to become self-sufficient. These
resources include quality seeds, appropriate tools and access to
water. Small improvements in farming techniques and food storage
methods are also helpful. Oxfam

Many hunger experts believe that ultimately the best way to reduce
hunger is through education. Educated people are best able to break
out of the cycle of poverty that causes hunger. United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF)

Hunger in the United States
In 1999, a year marked by good economic news, 31 million Americans
were food insecure, meaning they were either hungry or unsure of
where their next meal would come from. 12 million of these Americans
were children. U. S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research
Service, 1999

In the same year, some 5 million adults and 2.7 million children
lived in households where someone in the household had experienced
hunger in the previous year due to a lack of resources. U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, 1999

Seniors make up 16.5% of all emergency food pantry clients, 17% of
all soup kitchen clients, 4% of all emergency shelters clients and
17.5% of the clients served by other non-congregate feeding programs
such as Meals on Wheels. Seniors, however, only account for 13% of
the U.S. population.

According to research conducted by the Urban Institute, 1.9 million
seniors must choose between buying food and buying needed medicine.

Approximately 28% of all emergency food clients have missed meals in
the past month. Additional research has estimated that 1.1 million
seniors have skipped meals because there is no food in the house.

In 1999, approximately 12 million American children were food
insecure, meaning they were hungry or at risk of hunger. U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, 1999

Of the more than 21 million emergency food recipients served by
America's Second Harvest network, more than 8 million are children
(38%). Second Harvest's Hunger 1997: Faces & Facts

46% of food recipient households with children include at least one
child under age 5. Hunger 1997: Faces & Facts

9% of food recipient households report that children have missed
meals in the past month because they lacked food or the means to
obtain food. Second Harvest's Hunger 1997: Faces & Facts

Recent research indicates that even mild undernutrition experienced
by young children during critical periods of growth may lead to
reductions in physical growth and affect brain development. "The
Links Between Nutrition and Cognitive Development of Children,"
1998, Tufts University School of Nutrition Science and Policy

Requests for emergency food assistance have risen by 18% in American
cities - with more than half of the requests coming from families
with children. U.S. Conference of Mayors, December 1999

8,659,000 children in the U.S. live in working poor families. Center
on Budget and Policy Priorities, 1999
