Reality...

[mcZu]

US Citizens spend over $10 billion annually on pet food.

That is $4 billion more than the estimated total needed to provide basic health plus nutrition for every human in the world.

US Citizens spend over $8 billion a year on cosmetics.

That is $2 billion more than the annual cost needed to provide basic education worldwide.

The 3 richest US citizens have assets that exceed the combined GDP of the 48 least "developed" countries.

This just reminds me how unfair reality actually is.

EDIT: I'm refering to the 1.02 billion undernourished people. These quotes were taken from an essay which covered the whole concept of undernourish. Hence that ''every human'' is refering to the undernourished people.

Reality is a joke when you say shit like that, which is so fucking sad to think about, yet it is "reality"

I'm sure there many many more examples that amplify the point I think you were trying to, and did successfully get across

Well... (Do I have to do everything?)...

"US Citizens spend over $10 billion annually on pet food."

"That is $4 billion more than the estimated total needed to provide basic health plus nutrition for every human in the world"

You are saying that 6 billion dollars is the "total needed" to provide food and healthcare for the entire planet? What does that even mean? 6 billion dollars annually?

That is less than a dollar per person, PER YEAR, to fulfill all their basic needs.

Quickly becoming my favorite poster after destroying the creationism thread. Well done.

It is true I said ''every human'', however I was refering to the 1.02 billion people who are suffering from chronic hunger. I was putting the emphasis on human 'cause of the comparison with the pet food. My bad for any misinterpretations.

Also, these phrases are refering to daily expenses of these undernourished people, not anually. These people have to survive with a dollar and 25 cents a day, if they're fortunate. The unfortunate under them have to do it with just 1 dollar.

6/1.02= 5.88

5 dollars and 88 cents each...

That is enough to provide them with basic health and nutrition.

Zu wins again

Damn bro.

So you're comparing an annual number (annual $ spent on cosmetics) to a daily number ($ needed to provide healthcare and nutrition for one day)?

Shit makes no sense. I understand you are trying to make a noble point, but you are just misleading the people who read your OP. The correct calculation is...

6 / (365 * 1.02)

Rounding UP, thats 2 cents each person each day...

Sorry, Zu is losing this one. Not saying hes not trying to make a noble statement, I am all for helping our global community, but don't twist numbers around like that. Thats what the Republicans are here for.

The fact that they live now on so little per day has me backing Zu, and I agree. Especially since the cost of things must be so little where the undernourished are

I'm not against Zu in any way. I agree - the wealth of the planet is unfairly concentrated. The poor in this world are unbelievably poor. A large % of the human population doesn't have access to clean drinking water. A surprising number of humans live in clay and grass huts. Its very sad.

Still doesn't mean theres any reason to twist numbers around to drive the point home.
