[quote:Thisdayislove 1466756:MV8xNjAxOTYxXzk1QkMwMzEx] [b]One of every seven people worldwide suffer from hunger[/b] No one really knows how many people are malnourished.

The number of hungry people has increased since 1995-97, though the number is down from last year. The increase has been due to three factors: 1) neglect of agriculture relevant to very poor people by governments and international agencies; 2) the current worldwide economic crisis, and 3) the significant increase of food prices in the last several years which has been devastating to those with only a few dollars a day to spend. 925 million people is 13.6 percent of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion. Nearly all of the undernourished are in developing countries. Source: http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/world%20hunger%20facts%202002.htm [/quote]
