Guest lecture: Food appreciation and global hunger

Each year, 15 to 20 million people die of hunger-related causes, including diseases brought on by lowered resistance due to malnutrition. Of every four of these, three are children. If you see a person drowning and you can save that person easily, it would be wrong not to do so. You can just as easily donate money to save people dying from hunger. Would you?
