Hunger Is a ‘Weapon of Mass Destruction’

Hunger Is a ‘Weapon of Mass Destruction’, says Jean Ziegler

http://zcommunications.org/hunger-is-a-weapon-of-mass-destruction-says-jean-ziegler-by-siv-oneall

"Every five seconds, a child under 10 dies of hunger. – Thirty-five million people die each year from hunger or its immediate aftermath. – One billion people are permanently and severely malnourished and the situation is becoming increasingly catastrophic." (Jean Ziegler)

"In his latest book “Mass Destruction – the Geopolitics of Hunger”, Jean Ziegler[1] talks about the current state of the world and the neoliberal politics of starvation of the poor, which has led to a crisis situation amounting to calculated murder. What we are witnessing today is the worst hunger crisis in human history. And it is all because of human greed, colossal mismanagement for profit." ............
