"The dual scourge of hunger and malnutrition will be truly vanquished not only when granaries are full, but also when people's basic health needs are met and women are given their rightful role in societies"
- Gro Harlem Brundtland
About this Quote
This quote by Gro Harlem Brundtland speaks to the importance of attending to both appetite and poor nutrition in order to really beat them. Cravings and malnutrition are 2 sides of the very same coin, and both should be attended to in order to make an enduring impact. To do this, granaries should be complete, but also people's basic health requirements must be met. This includes access to health care, tidy water, and nutritious food. Additionally, ladies must be given their rightful function in societies. Ladies are typically the main caretakers in lots of societies, and they are important to the health and well-being of their families. By ensuring that ladies have access to the resources they need, which they are offered their rightful location in society, we can make a lasting effect on cravings and poor nutrition.
"Did you know that nearly one in three children live apart from their biological dads? Those kids are two to three times more likely to grow up in poverty, to suffer in school, and to have health and behavioral problems"
