This week: Hunger
Millions of people around the world would be very well nourished on what we, in the West, feed to our pigs.
Britain stands accused of being one of the meanest nations on earth. We eat to excess and build mountains out of surpluses. Other western nations do much the same. While we are all preoccupied with our seemingly important economic problems, 450 million people elsewhere are starving; many of those that don't die will be permanently crippled - physically and mentally. Of them, 350 will die during the 50 minutes of this programme.
Yet this fertile planet produces enough food for everyone. What's gone wrong?
