By Chris Arsenault TORONTO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Despite a drop in the number of people facing starvation, nearly one in three of the world’s population are malnourished, even as obesity spreads around the globe, an international food security think-tank said on Tuesday. Stunting – children too short for their age due to a poor diet – affects more than 160 million children under five years old, the International Food Policy Research Institute said in its Global Nutrition Report. The number of hungry people in the world fell, but obesity rose between 2010 and 2014 “in every single country”, and one in 12 adults worldwide now has Type 2 diabetes, the report said.
