There are a billion of people who have not enough food to eat. So literally go to bed every night hungry; and another billion who have enough food to eat so that stomach is full but wrong type of food to grow properly.

Lawrence Haddad, Director of Institute of Development Studies, talks about malnutrition and hunger with his passion and analysis on a Dutch TV programme. The interviewer is also excellent.
