The food we eat – because it often lacks the proper nutrients – is killing us. This year alone over 2 million people will die because they are obese, while over 2 million children will die from malnutrition.

That’s just insane, and something has to be done.

In just a matter of weeks, world leaders – including the US – are meeting to tackle the issue of food.  Let’s make sure they don’t just talk, but they act.

It’s time for a global food revolution. It’s time to save millions of lives. Add your name now.

 

    Dear World Leaders,

    Please make measurable commitments to reduce chronic malnutrition for 25 million kids by 2016 so they can reach their full potential.

      The Fight

      Every year, poor nutrition claims the lives of more than 2.4 million children. That’s more than one in three of all child deaths. It’s time to give this issue the attention it deserves.
