"The least of these" includes 24,000 people worldwide who die daily from starvation and malnutrition. That's over 8 million annually. Three of four who die are younger than 5 years old. But it's not an unsolvable problem. Hunger relief groups estimate that it would take $13 billion a year to end hunger for the earth's poorest citizens. North Americans and Europeans spend $18 billion each year on pet food.
