Response
The two articles that have been taken into consideration for the discussion are observed to
have been dealing with the various issues related to the hunger and the malnutrition that exists
within the countries of the world, especially the developing countries of the world. The articles
tend to put forth the ways that the concerned governments might apply in order to bring about an
eradication of the various issues of hunger and malnutrition that the concerned country had been
facing. The authors tend to focus their articles more on the major groups affected by the
malnutrition and the hunger issues of the country like the younger children, the ladies who have
experienced motherhood in the recent times and the ladies who would experience the same in the
near future.
The article by Gates (2018) deals with the argument that the various governmental
authorities that are related to the control of the quality of the food that is made available to the
citizens of the country. The government is mainly advised to focus on the younger children and
the women who are in need of the food materials that might be helpful in providing them with
the necessary nutrition that is required to remain healthy. The author further suggests that the
malnutrition might lead to the slowing down of the progress of the nation as a whole.
