Bones

This morning I read in the news that there is a famine in Somalia. 

Famine is officially defined as when two adults or four children per 10,000 people die of hunger each day and a third of children are acutely malnourished. In some areas of Somalia, six people are dying a day and more than half the children are acutely malnourished.

Today I wondered what it feels like to be starving.  And how it must feel to not be able to feed your child.

Then I spent $7.97 on a dog bone at Walmart.

I wonder.
