Globally a child dies approximately every 10 sec from hunger related causes. Severe malnutrition affects 45 million children around the world each year. Malnutrition kills more children than AIDS, malaria and TB combined.
In the US 13.5% households experience hunger which is a shorter term version of malnutrition. In America millions are one job loss, one medical emergency or one paycheck away from significant hunger.
Malnutrition is the single largest contributor to disease around the world and is entirely preventable. The world does produce enough food for all- the problem is access to the food in remote parts of the world.
