UNICEF reports that Cuba is the only Latin American country without child malnutrition

This achievement was made despite the fact that Cuba's treasury was taken to Miami when Batista was overthrown by the Cuban people. Despite the US Embargo, the Cuban government makes public education, health care and nutrition for all of Cuba's people their highest priority, which was not the case prior to the Casto regime.

Compare that to the United States where childhood malnutrition is generally thought of as being limited to developing countries. In the United States of America, one out of every six children is at risk of hunger. A study, based on 2005-2007 data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Agriculture Department, shows that an estimated 3.5 million children under the age of five are at risk of hunger in the United States. In 2007, an average of 26.5 million people participated in the Food Stamp Program each month (8.8 percent of the U.S. population). In 2006, requests for emergency food assistance increased 7 percent. Of those requesting emergency food assistance, 48 percent were members of families with children, and 37 percent of adults requesting assistance were employed.
