Since food is the third most basic human need after air and water, the day highlights everyone\u2019s right to adequate food.<\/p>\n The event is observed under different themes each year. This year\u2019s theme, \u2018Right to foods for a better life and a better future\u2019, not only stressed the right to sufficient food but also highlighted the right to an affordable, varied healthy diet for everyone.<\/p>\n Yet, over 2.8 billion people in the world are unable to afford a healthy diet, and too many people suffer from hunger.<\/p>\n Unhealthy diets are the leading cause of all forms of malnutrition \u2013 undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and obesity, which now exist in most countries, cutting across socio-economic classes.\u00a0<\/p>\n More vulnerable people are often forced to rely on staple foods or less expensive foods that can be unhealthy, while others suffer from the unavailability of fresh or diverse foods, lack the information they need to choose a healthy diet, or simply opt for convenience.<\/p>\n MT\/MG<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
