World Food Day is celebrated every year on 16 October to commemorate the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Some 854 million people, or about one in seven, lack sufficient food, according to FAO out of which more than 400 million are children
When we eat we never think about these millions. For us they are just numbers few statistics.
Forget about Africa, in our own country we will find millions still struggling to get food. We wont find images of these poor people in our newspapers or any other media. Hunger is the biggest killer much bigger than AIDS or cancer.
Our stock markets are @ all time high of 190000, GDP growth @ 9% the second largest in the world but still we have poorest people on the planet.
