Chronic malnutrition, or the lack of proper nutrition over time directly contributes to three times as many child deaths as food scarcity. Yet surprisingly, you don't really hear about this hidden crisis through the morning news, Twitter or headlines of major newspapers.

We have been growing more food than we need since the '60s... what we have is a terrible distribution problem.

The interesting thing is, while we die of diseases of affluence from eating all these fatty meats, our poor brethren in the developing world die of diseases of poverty, because the land is not used now to grow food grain for their families.

Today there are not even enough fruits and vegetables in this country to allow all Americans to follow the government guidelines to eat five to nine servings a day.

Three-quarters of the world's population doesn't have enough to eat!

It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.

In America, we are engaged in constant battle with food.
