Three U.N. food agencies say in a new report released Tuesday that about 842 million people did not get enough food in the 2011 to 2013 period.
That is a slight improvement from the last study done in 2010-2012 when 868 million people were found to be hungry.
The U.N. World Food Program, the Food and Agricultural Organization and the international Fund for Agricultural Development say that most hunger was in poorer nations. But 15.7 million chronically hungry people live in developed nations.
Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence of undernourishment, with one in four people estimated to be hungry.

i am shocked and surprised,
what the heck does a corrupt agency like the UN do with all the billions it gets from us and the rest of the world?
I thought the big problem was obesity.
Speaking to some international moshav leitzim dominated by the third world countries on the subject of global famine, the late (liberal) senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said the following:
“Food growing is the first thing you do when you come down out of the trees. The question is, how come the United States can grow food and you can’t?”
If liberalism was still like that today, I would consider being liberal myself… no, scratch that thought.
