Q. 2
One of the most blatant crimes committed by the Germans during the Second World War is the extermination of 1.1 million people by starvation. Which city had to suffer the almost two and a half year starvation blockade?
Stalingrad
Leningrad
Kaliningrad
Answer Detail:
For almost two and a half years, the German Wehrmacht shut down the northern Russian city of Leningrad between September 1942 and January 1944. Over a million people die. Hitler personally ordered the blockade; he did not want to feed the 2.5 million inhabitants. The Nazi regime accepts the cruel starvation of the Leningraders.
Q. 3

There are as many overweight people as undernourished people

Yes, however the EU is trying to curb such type of trading
Answer Detail:
There is speculation on the stock exchange with staple foods, but the new EU Financial Markets Directive aims to curb food speculation. However, the Commission's proposal for concrete implementation rules is far too weak and meets with widespread protest.

821 million people go hungry. In addition, two billion people are affected by ’hidden hunger’. What does this mean?
They lack essential vitamins and nutrients.
They hide out of shame about their poverty
They deny that they have too little to eat
Answer Detail:
We speak of hidden or concealed hunger when carbohydrates are present in sufficient quantities but other important nutrients are missing. This can lead to serious deficiency symptoms. With hidden hunger, important vitamins and nutrients are insufficiently available.
