the great hunger, also known as the disease caused by poop, because when guano was brought to ireland as a fertilizer, it carried potato blight

Today i read about the potato famine. it was most interesting and similar to somethings that are happening today around the world. the potato famine lasted five years, and it was caused by a disease that came from guano, which was being imported to Ireland, the disease is known as potato blight. now a days that plague is relatively unheard of. it resulted that the poverty killed people, as other food supplies were available but not affordable, so the food was shipped to England. Now a days famine and malnutrition is all over the world, mostly in Asia and Africa. this is because most of these countries are in bad condition and suffer the effects of poverty. the government doesn't give them food, but gives it to other wealthier countries who are willing to buy it, for example places with farmers work, when they harvest it is bought by other countries, leaving nothing for the natives. a famous saying during the potato famine was "the lord, indeed, sent the potato blight, but the English caused the famine". well now a days we don't really intend to starve people, but it happens without us realizing, so try to reduce the food you buy so you don't throw away unimportant food, because some people would die for some.
