    This is an article about how Philadelphia cut its food pantry budget while so many families are already struggling. To be more specific they cut their State Food Purchase Program which is how the states buy food for their food pantries.

    It is extremly eye openeing learning that 1 in 8 americans are on food stamps, i never knew poverty was climbing so quickly. if i had to go to walmart at midnight for food because i've been waiting a week for it, i would be depressed. and it isn't fair that these people only get half of what we spend, but still make it last a week longer than the avarage american would have.

    I found it terrible that it was really hard to find help from food pantries when people were starving. It would be so much better if the food pantries could be easier for these starving people to get access to

    Dude that's all kinds of wrong! I really don't think it was a bright idea for the city to cut the food pantry budgets.... Just, ehh, wrong. -_-

    Why would you you do a budget cut for a food pantry when tones of familys need the most help they can get.
  • Tuttle S on 13 Jan 11
     
    Thye decision to cut Philadelphia's food pantry, is cutting on human lives. People who are in poverty are starving in Philadelphia, and whithout people alive in Philadelphia, then what, or where is Philadelphia?!

    The website is about what has lead us to poverty and what still is. It seems like from the website that people in the west take advantage of poorer regions because the resources are cheaper. I find that very selfish. I was also very suprised too see that the main problem were the policies of international institutions.

    Poverty is sad, 600 million children are living in extreme poverty. 75 million children are out of school. It's horrible because they don't even get a chance for a good life without school.

  • Allen C on 12 Jan 11
     
    :o I didn't know that it was more likely for a poor child to commit a crime, but that sounds like something that would happen if you really need something to live, like food or clean water.
  • Fischbach J on 13 Jan 11
     
    This article is explaining that crime is evident in places that are high in poverty. It also states tat there are many others factors of poverty that lead to other things rather then just crime. They are also explaining how high unemployment leads to smaller crimes like stealing. I think that this is sometimes true, but that not all people in poverty steal to get food. There are other ways to get food legally.
  • Mendez V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I really liked this article because i thought it was really interesting how people in poverty are so desperate to get fod that they would do anything to get it even steal it. That's usuallt why crime goes up because of people in poverty.

    I'm very surprised how densly populated areas are the poorest. I was looking more into how Poverty relates into crime this whole time, but with everything i saw, I didn't know that! It just kind of blew me away!

    This website gives good information about poverty all around the world. (ex: Africa, Europe, Asia, America.) I read the one about Africa. There biggest struggle is hunger. Food prices have risen alot in the past couple years, so its harder then ever to buy cheap food.

One in every three adults will experience extreme poverty at least one year of their adult life. 6.8 of these extremely poor people are men, with the women making up the difference of 9.1 million.
