I am talking about child hunger in America. Im highly against it because no child should have to worry about how they’re going to eat. Instead they should be out playing with their friends having fun. There are kids all around the world that deal with hunger‚ but I think we should worry about our own country before we go and try to fix the other country’s problems.
