The Hunger Virus

Hunger,

we all suffer from it. The unbearable need for food that makes our stomachs growl. 

And if you can't suppress the growl, it becomes a roar and the beast within you is released. 

Hunger cannot be tamed unless you give it food.

But what happens when it can't feed?

The beast feeds on your body. 

Your hunger will be your destruction.

From missing a meal, to starvation, to malnutrition. 

Hunger is not infections, but deadly. 

A sickness,

but why don't we cure it?

We can cure chicken pox in two weeks, the flu in one and create a vaccine for Ebola a week after hearing about it. 

Hunger has been around for more than a thousand years, yet we still have not found a solution to it.

Why?

We have money. 

We can pay for it.

But what about the people who can't?

They suffer, they starve, they die,

and we don't care because their sickness has nothing to do with us; 

We eat when we are bored, sad, angry, anytime we want. 

But if the Hunger Virus infected us as much as it killed the the Hungry,

How fast would we work to find a cure?
