Canadian Kids Starving Why..?
By Dylan, Molly, Maddy and Mickayla
According to the UNICEF( United Nations International Children's Emergency Funding), out of the top 41 wealthiest countries, where the HDI(Human Development Index) rates canada the 10th best country in the world, UNICEF reports that Canada ranks 37/41 of these countries for children having enough access to proper nutrition on a daily basis! This is terrible considering how easy this problem would be for Canada to fix! 22% of Canadian children are starving and live in poverty, this number is INCREASING not decreasing. Canada must find a solution as children are the future and we need them to grow up healthy. Hopefully the Canadian government can fix this major problem soon.
