This just in...

The UN reports that the number of hungry people in the world rose from about 850 million in 2006 to 925 million in 2007. That's an increase of about 75 MILLION people. Why did this happen?
natural disasters
biofuel industry
poor economic/finance/trade policies
rising demand for meat and other complex foods
climate change that reduces growing seasons/suitability of land
and then some.
