7. Hunger 1 billion people across the world are hungry Every day almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food http://www.bread.org/learn/hunger-basics/hunger-facts-international.html http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/hunger.jpg
8. Hunger Hunger manifests itself in many ways other than starvation and famine. Most people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Countries with large populations are usually poor and often lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens etc. http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/hunger.jpg
