World leaders will gather this coming week at the United Nations and proclaim their passion for ending poverty and hunger around the globe.
In that week, approximately 90,000 children under the age of 5 will die, mostly of preventable causes.
As leaders discuss their goal to end hunger, over steak, children will be starving — to the point that 148 million will be forever stunted from malnutrition.
Then, after a flurry of cocktail parties, the leaders will clap one another on the back, congratulate themselves for confronting global needs and go home to fret about their waistlines.
