Julio Berdegué, regional representative for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, explains that the region experiences a contrast in relation to the way it eats itself.
On the one hand, there are almost 50 million hungry people, and on the other, an excess of obese citizens.
Berdegué comments that the problem in the region is not the lack of food, but the economic inequality that does not allow all the inhabitants to have access to the same food quality.
