Why World Hunger?

United Nations food officials say the number of hungry people on the planet has reached one billion. That's one in six people on Earth. Wall Street Journal reporters Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman provide analysis, based on their 20 years as foreign correspondents in the new book "Enough: Why the World's Poorest Starve in An Age of Plenty."

Rep. Jay Inslee
