No one will go to bed hungry

My primary goal would be that no child goes hungry in my reign. This is a heartbreaking reality of our day and age, and I would focus on eliminating it. Every single child would have their tummy’s fill in my world.

- Mannu Kohli

Shankar Mahadevan's World Of Plenty

Eliminating hunger for the human race and ensuring nutritious food for all would only be second to this. We tend to take two meals a day for granted, never having lacked or been deprived of daily sustenance. Well, I say everyone should be able to really take that for granted, because food is a fundamental human need.

Unfortunately for some it’s still not guaranteed. The deprived masses still do not know where their next meal is coming from or whether they will even get it! It is a horrible insecurity to live with. People end up skipping meals because they do not have the means to buy it. It is a fact that I am unable to come to terms with.

Hunger remains one of the saddest things in our world and it’s completely unacceptable to me. As ruler of the world, I will ensure that no one goes to bed hungry. Everything else is secondary.
