Hungry people

I heard a comment that made me pause today: "For less than the cost of the Bailout to CitiBank, the world could end hunger."

How much safer would the US be if hunger was ended? What would be the benefit to the US? It would be immense.

There are 6.7 billion people or something like that. There is food for 11 billion people. And yet, there are over one billion people who experience chronic malnutrition. Hunger doesn't always end lives. If the children come out of this condition, they have chronic health problems and even brain damage.

Shouldn't food be a human right? Especially with the abundance of food that this world produces.
