TOO MUCH AND NOT ENOUGH

Many people like to read the Guinness Book of World Records, and some people want to be in it!
How do people get their names in the book? They do something completely new and different,
such as making the world’s largest omelet whit 160,000 eggs.
For many people, it is fun to make world records. It is a challenge. But who ate the omelet?
While some people are making world records, other people do not have much food to eat. Hunger
is a very serious problem in the United States and Around the world. How many elderly people do
not have enough money to buy good food? How many Children go to bed without dinner?
Unfortunately, the answer is too many.
