Shark fin soup is considered to be ultimately delicious and healthy by those who swear by it. But then one look at the number of these splendid creatures tortured and killed merely for their fins and one would have a second thought of it. The number of sharks killed every year for merely their fins is increasing by the day. For the same now there has been an outrage from some people who are against the serving of shark fin soup in Three Leeds restaurants. These restaurants however on the other hand have decided to go against the wishes of these opposing groups and have rather defended the dish on their menu cards that read shark fin soup. This is after an international pressure group came down real harsh on them asking for people to boycott these eateries serving anything to do with sharks.
But then talking shark's fin soup one would do well to remember that supply only thrives on demand. The day there is no demand for particular things the supply will automatically cease. None the less, one would do well to know of the horrors as committed by fisherman in the east. They simply cut the fins of the sharks and throw them back into the waters. This is again in a wretched and fatally injured state unable to swim at that.
Stop Shark Finning is among the foremost groups that are coming against this hellish treatment as being given to the fish species, many of which are on the verge of becoming extinct. In the mean while the restaurant vouchers continue to be spent by people more and more on a daily basis even as an increasing number of them are walking to eat out more often than before. The fact that these restaurant vouchers are doing good is a sign of the recession slowly but surely subsiding. If restaurant vouchers woo the customers, bad publicity can do a lot of damage. However the restaurants defend themselves by saying that they get the shark fins from a legitimate source in Hong Kong.

UN AGENCY WORRIED ABOUT GLOBAL HUNGER
Hunger eats the man and this is very much a true statement in deed. Looking at the vast number of people all around the world, suffering from malnutrition because of improper food to eat, is simply a nightmare come to life. For it is doubtful that if at all there is any hell, then it can possibly be any worse then this. Even as the rich get richer, the gap between them and the poor oppressed also continually widens. This is also where The World Food Programme is finding itself to be in trouble for even as the organization is short on funds by about as much as $3 billion. This is even as the group fights against global hunger.
With the ever scaling food prices this problems, it is only bound to become ever more severe. This was as spoken by Josette Sheeran, the head of the U.N. agency. She said, while giving an interview to The Associated Press, that the hunger problem is being faced by a vast number of the world’s population. This is even as she spoke of how while on a tour to Palestine she was impressed by an electronic food voucher there. It was thus in the Palestinian city of Hebron, that the lady observed and analyzed an innovative electronic food voucher project. This would thus help the one much needy in times of food crises.
The electronic food voucher system was first put to place in the year of 2009 in West Bank in 2009. After meeting with positive responses and running smoothly it is now being applied elsewhere as well. The U.N.'s front line agency continues to battle it out against hunger. For the same now it heavily depends on voluntary contributions which may again be given by governments, corporations and even private individuals. For once, the organization needs huge amounts in charity to deal with the global financial crises this year itself. The vast sum needed is as much as $6 billion this year. On the other hand the agency has only been able to garner half of that sum and still needs about $2.8 billion to deal with the hunger problem.
