> Hunger during childhood can have a ripple effect that we are only just beginning to understand. I come from Africa and I attend talks at a medical research lab, many of which often end up involving malnutrition for obvious reasons. I have seen a lot of research talking about how malnutrition affects kids intellectual abilities, immunity and more. This is not a problem we are just begining to understand. [Edit] It's also fairly common knowledge that children who get malnourised never catch up in many facets of life.
