2. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes – that is one person every 3.6 seconds. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five. Go to “The Hunger Site”.  Browse through this site and read about world hunger – use the drop-down menu “News and Info” located across the top of the page. Look also at “Click Results” using the “About Us” drop-down menu. Summarize and comment on this information. How do you account for the fact that more people “click” daily on the “Animal Rescue Site” (check this site – it is listed at the top of the web page) than the hunger site?
