1 in 3 Brazilians Malnourished...

Date

October 31 2002


1 in 3 Brazilians suffer from malnutrition.


Each day 280 children die before their first birthday due to causes related to malnutrition.


Over 10 million Brazilians live on 250 calories/day, far below the UN minimum of 1.9 Kilocalories/day.


Brazil is one the world's largest food exporters and grows enough to provide each of its 170 million citizens with 2.9 Kilocalories/day.
