STARVATION

Imagine a week surviving on a packet of biscuit or maybe a glass of milk. It's next to impossible for me to do such. It might be an effortless task for a few but god not for a foodie like me. Well  I guess, many of us here are glutton, right? We all crave a proper meal round the clock but have you ever imagined the people who cannot afford a one-time meal? And it is very amusing to say that, The Indian food industry is the world's sixth-largest industry. How then 197 million people in India undernourished? How do 7000 people die every day in India due to of lack of food? How does India rank at 97 out of 118 in the global hunger index? It is very dreadful to hear that most of the target of malnutrition are children under the age of 5. Looking at all the facts and figures, the researchers found that the short maternal stature, factors such as Vitamin A, breastfeeding, use of iodised salt, improved water and sanitation, immunisation, unemployment and improper diet are the root cause of starvation among infant. AMUSING isn't it?
