As somebody who regularly enjoys eating out, cooking for friends and family and testing out new restaurants, I try to constantly remind myself how fortunate I am when it comes to
food. Not everybody gets the luxury of choosing a restaurant they fancy for a
mid-week dinner and, as my parents often like to remind me, when they were younger
going out to eat was reserved only for very special occasions. Not only am I
fortunate enough to be able to pay somebody else to cook my food for me, the
fact that I have good food to eat on a daily basis sadly puts me in a small minority of people.
It’s easy to forget that there are countries across the
world (our own included) where children go hungry on a daily basis and that's where Action Against Hunger come in. They work with 50 countries including the UK to lead the global fight against hunger. They believe ‘every child should
have access to the basic nutritious food they need to survive, unlock their
potential and build their own futures’. As someone who works with children on a daily basis, this is something that really resonates with me.
