While gainers are busy eating 12 000 calories a day, people are dying from starvation. Is this right? Off course not! Donna Simpson, a gainer, is trying to become that fattest woman on earth. To do so, she has a site to collect money for her $750/week eating coast. Now that is just absurd and preposterous. But even crazier, people actually give money.
“It feels right to be fat”, is what Donna feels. It’s her life, and she can do anything with it, even if it means putting her life a risk, however, the $3 000 that’s she’s raising per month could go to a greater cause.
Those $3 000, can help the 15 million children that die of hunger per year.
Below are some more reasons why society should give money to help decrease starvation rather than paying to watch gainers eat.
1. 1 Did you know that in Asian, African and Latin American countries, over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty”?
2. 2. Nearly one in four people, 1.3 billion - a majority of humanity - live on less than $1 per day. This equals starvation.
3. 3. One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night.
4. 4. Malnutrition is implicated in more than half of all child deaths worldwide - a proportion unmatched by any infectious disease.
5. 5. About 183 million children weigh less than they should for their age
6. 6. To satisfy the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only $13 billion-what the people of the US and the European Union spend on perfume each year.
Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger, so why are people reading articles on gainers instead of growing awareness about poverty? Next time, help out the needy.

You know what? I do agree with you, although I have never thought of it that way. We could be spending more money on other, greater causes rather than to pay for this person to try to stuff herself silly. Great post, I enjoyed the interesting facts. Keep up the great work.
