Millions of Children Die of Hunger Every Year.

Around 3.5 million children die every year because of lack of food or poor quality food, a problem which starts in the womb, studies show.

Millions more die from a handful of treatable infectious diseases including diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria and measles. They would survive if their bodies and immune systems had not been weakened by hunger and malnutrition.

Mortality from undernutrition accounts for more than a third of child deaths worldwide.

Hmmm.. Can I have a double Whopper with cheese and super size fries and Coke, please?
