Andie Pinga has seen different forms of malnutrition manifest itself in Vietnam, the Philippines, and the United States. As hunger reaches a critical stage in the world today, it is important to recognise the importance of feeding the mind as well as feeding the belly. To 'solve hunger better', our generation must invest in the future by feeding our children quality diets with more nutritious foods.

Andie Pinga is a sophomore at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA.
