Hunger Facts

Every day in the developing world,
30,100 children die from mostly preventable and treatable causes such as diarrhea, acute
respiratory infections or
malaria. Malnutrition is
associated with over half of those deaths.


More than 800 million people in the world are
malnourished --
777 million of them are from the developing world. 177 million of them are children.

In the last 50 years, almost 400 million people worldwide have died from hunger and poor sanitation,
according to the report.
That's three times the
number of people killed in all wars fought in the
entire 20th century.

Crow Preaches Peace

By BETH HARRIS, Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES - Sheryl Crow, an activist for recording artists' rights, brought her own message against a possible war with Iraq to Monday night's American Music Awards.

Crow accepted her award for pop-rock female artist wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with the message "war is not the answer" in black sequins. She had the V-neck shirt specially made.

"I just think there's a really vital, sweeping peace movement out there that's not getting covered in the press, so I just kind of try to do my part," she said backstage.

"I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies."
