Starving Child Stalked by Vulture -- Term 3 Wk 1

As we are halfway through our chapter on Geography of Food, I would like you all to reflect again on the picture that I have shown you earlier at the start of this topic.

DESCRIPTION:

Starving Child Vulture

One photograph that has helped awaken the world about the effects of poverty in Africa is the one above showing a Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture nearby. It is quite obvious that the child was starving to death, while the vulture was patiently waiting for the toddler to die so he can have a good meal.

Nobody knows what happened to the child, who crawled his way to a United Nations food camp. Photographer Kevin Carter won a Pulitzer Prize for this shocking picture, but he eventually committed suicide three months after he took the shot.

I want you think about this question:



1) Up until the present time, there still exist variations in food consumption between DCs and LDCs and so what are the impacts of this phenomenon? (please do not tell me you do not know what DCs and LDCs mean alright..)
