More on the Cia Factbook

Today in class Mr. Schick reviewed our grades and some people discussed with him about how they found errors. Veracross was down so it took awhile for the whole class to get on. Then we all shared facts on the CIA Worldfact book that we found to be interesting. I shared that I thought it was very interesting how much of the population of kids under 5 in India are underweight. This made me concerned for how the children in India are going to be treated years from now when their population is even more than it is now. Children need certain nutrients to grow and stay healthy so if they aren't being given these nutrients then their life expectancy will be very low. I found that About 60% of India's nearly 1.3 billion people live on less than $3.10 a day, the World Bank's median poverty line. And 21%, or more than 250 million people, survive on less than $2 a day. These are very alarming numbers because you can barely go to McDonalds with that money so its impossible to get a healthy nutritious meal.
