My Way News - Experts: nearly 1 billion hungry people in world

AP reports: "The number of hungry people in the world could soon hit a record 1 billion, despite a recent drop in food prices, the U.N. food aid organization said Wednesday."

Comment: It's odd how they never actually use the word famine in that report. I guess it's not politically correct to talk about famine anymore. Famine has been replaced by "food security" which makes me think about how secure the food is, not about the people. Why would they want to take the focus off people?
