What Is Hunger?
Undernourishment or chronic hunger is the inability of persons to consume enough food sufficient to meet dietary energy requirements. Malnutrition, in all its forms, is a major impediment to development. Children facing hunger tend to grow up in a family where a parent or parents also face hunger. Unfortunately, 18 million children - 1 in every 4 kids - may not know where they will get their next meal.
