Food to feed 5 billion people, or if you prefer the entire population of the planet? ? However, a question comes to mind, why then, eight hundred million land they suffer from deprivation of food and die of starvation? !people
 
 World hunger is present since the time of prehistory and likely to remain so for centuries one wonders why
 The majority of Americans have 3600 calories per day, on the other hand Europe follows closely with 3500 calories a day. That's huge when you think of all that is to get rid of every meal. Africa can digest today that 1700 to 2050 calories a day. Besides their diet is not as varied and nutritious than ours. In fact, several residents Africans eat only the contents of bins and dried vegetables from the sun.
 
 On average, 75/100 of the hungry live in the countryside (?), 25/100 are city dwellers who live in slums in major cities. A slum is defined, a village where houses are built on garbage. People who live there have to find something to eat in the mountains of waste. The waste is a rich dinner of a poor!
 

There are several diseases related to hunger structural. The "kwashiorkor" It is a slow destruction of the body. Children growing. Their hair becomes red, and then they fall, the belly swells, teeth fall as well. A child or young person dies slowly. The "slump" has almost the same symptoms.

The lack of vitamin A can cause blindness. One hundred of thousands of children are affected in Africa, lack of vitamin and nutrient leads to a loss of sight. Nearly 500000 also mothers die in childbirth because their body is too weak.

There are several causes of hunger in the world, but especially ago especially the global financial system. The debts of the developing countries are enormous, which is why it is very difficult to install any savings in such a country.

The hunger in the world is separated into two categories, hunger structural and cyclical hunger. Hunger is a structural permanent situation caused by a society that has an inadequate system of distribution of wealth. The cyclical hunger is caused by unforeseen catastrophe as a drought, a hurricane, an earthquake, a volcano, the freeze, a flood, typhoons, attacks by predators such as insects…

I hope you have better informed on the subject. Fringants "cowboys" on a song very well thought about hunger in the world I advise you to listen. It's thinking, I can assure you!
