Do we need to change our food?

Nowadays there is a common phenomenon as a "famine". In the world more than 805 million hungry people and 98 percent from them are in developing countries. For example, 
526 million: people from Asia and the Pacific. 
237 million: people from Africa.
37 million: people from Latin America 
And last 15 million contain developed countries. 
Mostly all hungry people live in rural areas. The number of poor and hungry people are rising rapidly and , of course, it has a great influence on development of these countries. 
They are more vulnerable to crises , they can easily suffer from disasters as flooding of torrential falls and e.t.c. 
For developed countries the phenomenon of hunger and malnutrition  is not typical. These countries now produce and consume more than 3/4 of the world's food, although they account for less than 15% of the population. In most of these countries the average calorie content is more than 3000 kcal per day. In this regard, recently in the literature, special attention is drawn to the things of the world more and more people are overweight and this increases their susceptibility to disease, reduced efficiency and reduced life expectancy. The total number of overweight people estimated at 600 million people, most of whom live in the US, UK and some other European countries. 
So , the is a question: Do we need to change our food?
Of course!! At first we need to change the way of food consumption: it means to avoid eating fast food and fat food . At second , to do sport , at least 3 times a week and you won't have any problems with metobolism. 
We should consume fresh fruits and vegetables. 
People must understand the situation in the world and try to help hungry people ( 146 million children are underweight. It is the result of acute hunger) . 
 We are the world 
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me.
