In 2009 I read an astonishing commentary on world poverty and hunger.  I want you to know what is really
going on with 44% of the world's population.  Yes, I said 44%.  Click on this pdf file, and put the word "generational" in
search line.  Or else, scroll to page 21.  Read every word of this commentary and give me some non-trivial feedback.
What can you do?  What WILL you do?
