December 28th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in NewsUn-freaking-believable. The number of people who don’t get enough to eat is on the verge of passing the 1-billion mark:

The shocking landmark will be passed – despite a second record worldwide harvest in a row – because people are becoming too destitute to buy the food that is produced.
