Famine is the most severe consequence of global wealth inequality. According to worldwide famine statistics, millions of people die every year due to a lack of food and water. In most Western countries, food is discarded as daily waste in homes, hotels, and restaurants. In the United States, 30-40% of the food supply is wasted, according to the USDA. This amounts to approximately 92 billion pounds of food annually, valued at over $473 billion. This is a thought-provoking consideration for Ramadan.
