Document Summary

Undernutrition contributes to the deaths of 5 million children under 5 in developing countries. Leading to obesity and diet related chronic diseases. Shifting dietary pattern in low and middle income countries away from the traditional cereal based diets: shift towards fats, sugars, nutrient poor and highly processed. High fertility and high mortality to low fertility and low mortality: epidemiologic transition. Shift from death from infectious diseases towards diseases associated with urban lifestyle: changes in the food system. Effects are worse for low income households. Influenced by: growth of tfc"s, liberalization of international food trade, global food advertising promotion. Free all men and women and children from the dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger: reduce half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. Achieve universal primary education: all children receive primary education, remain in school. Increase gender equality and empower women: eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education.
