Throughout history, hunger has always been a problem. Wars and disasters have destroyed food supplies and caused starvation. Even in good times, there have always been some people who were not able to get enough food. However, there have never been as many poor and hungry people as there are today. According to a recent study, about 1.3 billion people live on less than $1 per day. About 1.1 billion people do not get enough to eat every day.
