 "In politics, humanitarian
aid,
and the social
sciences, hunger is
defined as a condition in which an individual does
not have the physical or financial capability to
consume sufficient food to meet basic nutritional needs
for a sustained period. In the field of hunger
relief, the term hunger is
used in a sense that surpasses
the typical desire for food that all humans
experience, also referred to as an appetite.
The most severe type of hunger is when malnutrition is
widespread, and when people have started dying of
starvation through lack of access to sufficient,
nutritious food, this results in a declaration of famine"..
