By challenging common assumptions and being ethical he effectively claims that the solution to solving these global hunger problems is foreign assistance. Paarlberg shows Pathos, Ethos and Logos through the thought of unravelling worldwide starvation by being realistic of the view on pre-industrial food and farming. Pathos is clearly evident in Paarlberg’s article through the presentation of the food insecurity problem in Africa and Asia. He uses impassioned words as an attempt to reach out to his target audience on a more emotional level by agitating and drawing sympathy of whole food shoppers and policy makers. Paarlberg employs Pathos during the article when he says, “The majority of truly undernourished people -- 62 percent, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization -- live in either Africa or South Asia, and most are small farmers or rural landless laborers living in the countryside of Africa and South Asia” (page 611-12).

Quindlen uses a gargantuan amount of evidence to prove that children are starving. Anywhere from using statistics to food banks giving out food. She sees child hunger as a very large problem and it is, she even goes as far as saying, “people working for minimum wage can’t afford to eat on their small salaries.” She brings up a great point on how are people supposed to feed their children if they can’t even provide for themselves, and she takes this to heart. Another piece of evidence she uses is that many kids are just sat at home as their parents can not pay for someone to watch their child so therefore the child is at home alone with no one to feed them.
