The studies detailed where the best and worst places to live would be if you are in need of food or water. They made claims like these through a few requirements. The first was the percentage of malnourished people living in the country. The next requirement was can people afford to purchase foods high in nutritional value. The third requirement was based on the quality of the food, and whether or not the food was high in necessary vitamins and nutrients. The study showed that the best countries to live in were all in Northern Europe, such as the Netherlands. The worst countries to live in were all developing countries located in Africa, such as Nigeria.

It is very important to educate mothers in the amount of nutrition developing children need. With the lack of essential nutrients, children are vulnerable to disease, and their development will stop, leading to  lifelong problems. In many countries, mothers attempt to feed their children well, however with low income and small food supply, they are unable to obtain foods. A solution to this would be educating parents for the nutrition their children need. Organizations have called to governments to help provide funding in fighting malnutrition.]]> 2019-02-06 17:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/scottlao221/3ptj66o6900x/wish/328388718 scottlao221 https://padlet.com/scottlao221/3ptj66o6900x/wish/328388915 When President Obama took the presidential office, the world was going through a food prices.

Their effects have been seen in many third-world and developing countries, such as India, Nigeria, and Sudan. The charity raised over one billion dollars that all went in to supplying water. They have built many water pumps and wells in villages that would normally have to walk for hours to get their water. With less time required to be dedicated towards getting water for the village, people have more time to do other things that we take for granted, such as education. Education in these villages can generate so much income because better jobs can be acquired. ]]> 2019-02-06 17:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scottlao221/3ptj66o6900x/wish/328389461 scottlao221 https://padlet.com/scottlao221/3ptj66o6900x/wish/329932059 There are a number of poisonous ingredients in laundry detergents which can cause a number of problems.
