Inadequately nourished children may suffer from difficulty concentrating or lowered immunity. Growing up hungry has negative effects that last a lifetime. One out of six children—roughly 100 million—in developing countries is underweight. There are162 million stunted children and 51 million wasted children because of undernourishment. Both increase the risk of disease and death.
