World Hunger

I’ve been writing about hunger and hunger related diseases for a number of years.

I continue to be appalled and disturbed at the unnecessary number of human beings who are hungry on a daily basis.

A recent report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says that 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted or lost every year. That’s about a third of the planet’s food production each year.

Here’s the coup d’état. The UN organization estimates that 870 million people go hungry every day.

So many of them are children.

Need we say more?
