FAO: Nearly 870 Million People Are Chronically Undernourished

It is sad to hear this. I consider myself lucky too to have a good meal everyday. I hope there could be something done about this. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

There are a lot of people who don't have enough food in the world, and it is shocking when you start thinking about exactly how many people there are who are not able to eat. It seems that a lot of people waste much of their food that they buy; either by cooking too much and scraping it into the bin or by buying too much food and then never getting the chance to cook any of it. We should always plan our meals exactly so that we only ever buy the amount that we need. This means that not as much food is wasted, and also helps us to keep healthy meaning that we don't eat too much either.

Yes and what is worse it's everywhere. Only a few years ago 1 out of 10 children in Hungary had no food, now it's already the same in the Netherlands.. 1 out of 10 children doesn't have food is raised (if you can call it being raised at all) in a very poor family. Which is far from great here with mostly rain, cold winters. And this country is called a rich country (although more and more shops are going bankrupt and more and more people are jobless and all the prices are sky high so are all the different kind of taxes we have to pay..just to safe others).

Hey thanks a ton for sharing such an important information. It really gets tears in my eyes to hear that there are so many people in this world who are deprived of their daily food and look at us we are wasting the food and having it in excess and even at times complain about not having delicious food. This brings us down to a level where we should all think logically so that we can come up with something so as to reduce this number in the coming days. I hope that day is not far when the no. of undernourished people would be zero. What say?
