• A quarter of the world's population live in the developed countries — Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. These people eat half of all the world's food.
• People in the developed countries often eat too much food. 30% of all Americans are overweight. 15% of all food in the USA is thrown away.
• The average American eats 2,100 grams of food a day — the average Indian eats 600 grams.
• In some countries, nearly everyone is hungry. According to the United Nations, 250 000 young children in the non-developed world die every week from'hunger and hunger-related diseases.
• The world's population is almost 6 billion. We produce enough grain to feed 6 billion people — but we give a quarter of the world's grain to our farm animals.
• In many countries, only rich people eat meat, because it's expensive. In India, an average person eats 1 kilogram of meat a year; in Nigeria — 6 kilograms, in the UK — 60 kilograms and in the USA — 100 kilos. A pet cat in Europe eats more meat every year than an average person in the non-developed world.
