Pope condemns global food inequality 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersROME – Pope Francis condemned un­fair access to food around the world as “perverse” on Thursday, saying it threatened disaster for humanity if not remedied. “Few have too much and many have little,” said the 81-year-old Argentine pontiff, who is one of the world’s most respected voices on issues of poverty and social justice. “Many do not have food and are adrift while the few are drowning in the superfluous,” said the pope, who has often backed UN targets to tackle hunger and climate change. The global exodus from rural to urban areas was worrying, he added.
