870 million suffering from chronic malnourishment with a 100 million of those children.
Nearly 870 million people, or one in eight, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2010-2012, according to the new UN hunger report released today.
In this piece it suggests there has been improvements.
The new figure is lower than recent estimates that had put the number of hungry people at 925 million in 2010 and one billion in 2009.
World population growth can not be sustained at these levels. It's just that simple. It will not be discussed here in the US of A. After all it's about the miracle of making more humans who will not have enough to eat ya see.

Population control was a hot topic back in the 1970s. Then Reagan came along and the discussion ended.
