PHA-Exchange> Right to food (2)

I wish that Prensa Latina article had been clearer about what it was  
referring to. It was indeed the annual UN General Assembly resolution  
on the right to food.

Unfortunately, the US position on this is very clear. It is the only  
country in the world that stands up in public to speak against the  
concept that adequate food is a human right. I have a chapter that  
discusses the US position in my book, Freedom from Want: The Human  
Right to Adequate Food.

It's embarrassing.
