The main issue with poverty in Western countries is that it’s relative poverty rather than absolute poverty. And yes, I’ve lived in poverty for a considerable amount of time and now I work with in mental health and homelessness and so I’m on the front line. Naturally there are genuine experiences of poverty but that’s not often what many experience. Low income earners are described as living in poverty and this overshadows the extreme poverty that people do experience.

They dont plant fruit trees in parks for a reason. They hastle farmers and people who have backyard food gardens for a reason. Poverty exists because they want it to. They literally take our money and donate billions to ngos and other countries creating inflation. Make new laws and regultions to take whatever money they can from you when there was no injured or affected 3rd party. They have designed every bad thing about our society. Who are “they” you didnt ask? Who indeed

Poverty is a sin, for those who manifest a religious creed. It is a social desease accepted by many as normal. Hunger hurts and is painfull and one should starve for three or four days in a roll to experience this painfullness. Add to that experience, wandering around the town and watch people eat through a window. And, please, quit wasting food.

That’s intriguing. You are really asking ‘how can we put humanity back into humans gloated by fat wallets and selective blindness to the situation of their fellow humans?’ If they look and see they are scared they will catch it too. Poverty is only caught when the rich deliberately spread it.

In so called “developed” countries, 50% of the food is going to waste. Is trashed out. Here in the US sometimes it is much higher.
Many times people are prevented to share the “leftovers”, they are going into the trash, must go into the trash.
Sometimes its the Corporation, sometimes is the laws, sometimes its corporate lawyer avoiding potential consequences because of dumb laws we allowed to be written. And sometimes it’s ambulance chasers that have created the laws we have today, preventing us from sharing overages.
Poverty is a societal failure, an end result of a system manipulated to favor the few over the many. And as the most recent election has shown us in the US, we have enough un/misinformed people willing to support this system. To their own detriment. With global reach and consequences. Poverty in many cases should just show the paper, many go hungry and no food.
You should show the availability of clean water connected with poverty.

Poverty on a plate reflects more than just the physical appearance of a meal; it is a stark indicator of the socioeconomic realities that many individuals and families face daily. When we think about poverty, especially in terms of nutrition, we must acknowledge the limitations people often face in accessing healthy, affordable food.
In many cases, poverty manifests as a lack of access to nutrient-dense, diverse foods. Instead, individuals living in poverty may rely on cheap, calorie-dense, yet nutrient-poor foods. These can include processed foods, fast food, and inexpensive staples like rice, bread, or pasta. While these foods may provide short-term energy, they fail to meet the long-term health needs of individuals, contributing to poor nutrition and often leading to health problems like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Furthermore, the lack of a balanced diet can have far-reaching consequences for development, especially in children. Malnutrition, whether due to insufficient intake of food or improper food choices, can stunt physical and cognitive growth. The effects of this are particularly devastating in low-income communities where children may not have access to adequate education or healthcare services to overcome the barriers created by poor nutrition.
Poverty can also limit the ability to prepare meals, especially for individuals living in food deserts where healthy food options may be scarce. The cost of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and other nutritious foods may be out of reach for many families. This lack of access is exacerbated in areas with limited transportation, where the nearest grocery store may be miles away, and individuals must rely on corner stores that often stock high-calorie, low-nutrient options.
Poverty on a plate can also signify food insecurity, where families are unsure of where their next meal will come from. This constant uncertainty about food availability can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as overeating during times when food is available or skipping meals altogether when it is not.
Addressing poverty through the lens of food security involves more than just providing charity. It requires systemic changes that ensure access to affordable, nutritious food for all. This might include policies that promote food sovereignty, improve access to healthcare, and address the root causes of poverty, such as unemployment and unequal educational opportunities.
Ultimately, what poverty looks like on a plate is not just about the food itself, but about the larger socio-economic conditions that shape what is available, accessible, and affordable for individuals and communities. Ensuring that all people, regardless of their financial status, have the opportunity to nourish their bodies with healthy, sustainable foods is crucial for breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting overall well-being.
