Hundreds of millions of people are "facing chronic hunger", and in the time that it will take you to read this article the death toll from starvation on the other side of the globe will go even higher.  But since the legacy media doesn't really talk about the global food crisis much, most Americans don't even realize that it is happening.  Many of us are so obsessed with what Taylor Swift and other celebrities are doing, but when is the last time that you had a meaningful conversation with someone about global famine?  According to the UN's World Food Program, "a food crisis of unprecedented proportions" is unfolding right in front of our eyes at this moment…

Conflict, economic shocks, climate extremes and soaring fertilizer prices are combining to create a food crisis of unprecedented proportions. As many as 783 million people are facing chronic hunger.

783 million people are suffering from chronic hunger.

These people are not just missing a meal or two.

Those that are considered to be dealing with "chronic hunger" are hungry all the time.

If you took the entire population of the United States and doubled it, you still wouldn't have 783 million people.

In some areas of the world, widespread starvation is already happening.  For example, just check out what is taking place in Sudan…

The U.N. food agency said Friday it has received reports of people dying from starvation in Sudan, where raging fighting between rival generals is hampering the distribution of aid and food supplies to those most hungry.

I wish that I could tell you that things will get better, but that isn't true.

Global hunger has been steadily rising for nearly a decade, and now global food supplies are really starting to get tight.
