According to the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), more than 852 million people - about 13 percent of the world population - do not have enough food each day to sustain a healthy life.
Of this, about 815 million people live in developing countries, 28 million in "transition" countries of the former Eastern Europe and ex-Soviet republics, and about nine million in the industrialised world.*
When I first saw this picture, I was so disgusted to think that people actually eat something like this and that as you read this, someone shelled out their hard-earned money to buy this for themselves and (Worse to think!) their children.
Why is this acceptable? SMH
