"One out of six people in humanity will wake up not sure that they can even fill a cup of food."

Not too bad. When we were all hunter/gatherers it was six out of six would wake up not sure that they could fill a cup of food. Furthermore, take into consideration that the population then was only about 100 Million humans in the entire World. 5 out of 6 people out of a population of 6 Billion having enought to eat is just fine. People need more perspective.

Hmm, really? I think it's still sad. I'm sure you wouldn't say that if you were one of those 1.02 Billion people.

One seventh of world below poverty and lacking food.

No wonder world has so many woes.

World leaders need to get busy,finding a solution to these woes,the nations facing these woes,will get into more mess.

Mostly all caused by corruption in politics and war. We need a strong UN with teeth. A least get food and tools to grow food to each other. Must have security first, then food, then health care, then education, then housing etc. Send the unemplyed to work, to teach, to help our brothers in every nation. Send some people to our country to help us. Together, we the people can do. Divided we fall. All.

One sixth of the worlds population are hungry? WoW! Aside from the food thought, I cant even imagine the sad and dispicable living conditions these people have to deal with. It`s not like these people are waking up in a nice house with all the gadgets and then looking in the fridge to find no food. Most of these people have to also worry about war, death, health, shelter, education, family, proper clothing etc. not just food. These problems are a result of failed politics. Sad state of affairs.

Now WFP should tell us how many people are responsible for this grave hunger.

it seems the socialist new world order agenda is working = the traders must be making more money than ever while stealing money from everyone else.

Even 1/7 Japanese are in poverty.

The problem isn't too little food. The problem is too many mouths to feed.

I just ate a Win7 burger and am stuffed = I am full and 7 others went hungry. My gain is your loss.

I'd like for someone to investigate this. What's happened to that money I have been sending for the past few years?

World Food Program is obsolete,should be replaced with new proper, more dynamic and modern program.

What is this new not obsolete program?

World citizens,have to come up with new ideas and new programs,which are not obsolete.

Basics of this program is creating more educated rich citizens in the countries concerned.

Its like going to space with obsolete shuttle,technology needs constant improvements, in the field of educations and change for concerned nations.
