As food prices soar to the skies, the poor are eating less and the Government has camouflaged this brand of inflation by combining food with other commodities like steel and metals whose prices are falling, said environment activist Vandana Shiva here on Thursday. [...] ”India has emerged as the capital of hunger with 214 million people being denied the right to food. This is more than sub-Saharan Africa. Fifty-seven million children in India are underweight because of lack of adequate nutrition. This is one-third of all underweight children in the world,” she said.
