Goromonzi District - Food

Food

Food is the most critical concern of the people of Goromonzi. Unemployment, lack of transportation, the fact that there are few adults between the ages of 25 and 60, and a lack of farming knowledge passed from parents to children have all contributed to the difficulty in obtaining and producing food. Many children and adults are malnourished due to the scarcity of food in the region. Most have only one meal per day.

Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “Compilers resemble gluttonous eaters who devour excessive quantities of healthy food just to excrete them as refuse.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.”
    —Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
