* Hunger is a constraint to progress: dietician *
Special Correspondent * ‘6 m cildren die of malnutrition every year’ *

VISAKHAPATNAM: Food is a basic human right, yet around 850 million human
beings on the earth remain chronically hungry and 799 million of them are in
the developing countries.

Speaking on the occasion of World Food Day on Tuesday, consultant dietician
and chairperson of Diabetes Foundation Anuradha Reddy said this year, the
theme of World Food Day is “The Right To Food”.

“This theme brings a message that it is the inherent human right of every
woman, man and child where ever they live on this planet. The right to food
is the right of every person to have regular access to sufficient
nutritionally adequate and culturally acceptable food,” she observed.
 Disparities

Starvation is the severest type of poverty in the world. Everyday about
24,000 people die from hunger and three-fourth of them are children under
age of five. Hunger and malnutrition are caused not just by lack of
available food, but also by poverty, income disparities, lack of access to
health care, education, clean water and sanitary living conditions.

Food is essential to human life, yet a great human tragedy continues to
afflict our world. Hunger is a major constraint on human development. It is
a violation of the right to food. One in five people in developing countries
do not have access to food of sufficient quality. Worldwide six million
pre-school children died every year as a result of hunger, she stated.

“Over a third of world’s malnourished children live in India. The
malnutrition among Indian children is 53 per cent according to National
family health survey. Malnutrition is a tangle of two mutually reinforcing
factors - insufficient nutrient intake and illness. Its root cause
therefore, is poverty at the household, community and national levels which
results in lack of access to such basic necessities as food. A second reason
is an insidious combination of simple ignorance and prejudice against women.
In a nutshell, malnutrition constitutes a global “silent emergency” killing
millions every year,” she said.
