The daunting issue of world hunger is not usually associated with hope. According to a CBS news magazine 60 Minutes report, malnutrition claims the life of one child every six seconds.  Considering that there are 86,400 seconds in each day and 31,556,926 seconds in every year, those numbers add up fast. It amounts to about five million children who die from this preventable cause every year.

Many times, we are confronted with stressful situations.  What do we turn to?  Our loyal friend—food.  For many of us, the accessibility of food allows us to eat anything we want at any point of the day: food is as simple as a click away.  However, many tend to “stress eat” if we are going through a particularly difficult time at school or work, and we often chose greasy, fried, salty, or sweet foods to satiate our hunger.
