There are many many malnourished infants today, maybe equal to or more than that 25 years ago. And despite the fact that human population of the globe has doubled, the food productivity has quadruppled, meaning that the 800 million people in the world are hungry not because of food shortage but unequal distribution of it. An FAO report showed that 80% of the children who are hungry, live in countries that PRODUCE food surplus. Which goes to show that famines are also due to a human phenomenon called ‘grain trade’.
