		<description><![CDATA[Some people brush off those advocating the end of poverty as unrealistic. They falsely label the goal to end world hunger or to end poverty as impossible.  In reality, we can end world hunger. We can end poverty.
The world has way more than enough food to feed everyone. To illustrate, people in the United [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Sorbi recently contacted me about his Transcontinental Humanitarian Expedition. He&#8217;s going around the world on his motorcycle to raise awareness about world hunger. He travels around on his motorcycle while also posting updates about his expedition and about hunger in general.
I love the idea! First of all, I think motorcycles are cool. More importantly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By definition, a person is poor who does not have access to basic necessities, which in capitalist societies usually means they cannot afford these basic necessities. 
I believe these basic necessities include sufficient food, clothes, shelter, health care, retirement, unemployment insurance, and disability insurance. The sum of the cost of those basic necessities is the [...]]]></description>

Nonetheless, the discussion of how a large sum of money could be spent to alleviate poverty is valuable regardless of it being a contest. So even though the contest is over, if you [...]]]></description>
