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.
