    The disparities is amazing, most families in Africa are like the The Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp. Many can only afford one meal in a day instead of three. Those in America eat a lot of junk compared to others. Mexicans, Americans and Germany, consume a lot of food for a family of 4 compared to the Africans.

    African’s are survivors having lived in such conditions for years.
