Miss World 2013 Megan Young continues to embody beauty with a purpose.
On World Food Day, October 16, the Kapuso star assumed the new role of #ZeroHunger champion and celebrated the day by sharing important facts about nutrition.
"Wasting less, eating better and adopting a sustainable lifestyle are key to building a world free of hunger. The choices we make today are vital for a secure future of food. You can make better choices if you are well informed," Megan shared.
She added, "World Food Day 2018 also draws attention to the fact that while hunger is on the rise, over 600 million people suffer from obesity and a further 1.3 billion are overweight. #ZeroHunger means working together to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has access to safe and healthy food. It calls on everyone to adopt a new mind-set, and change of day-to-day behaviors with the aim to reduce waste, eat more healthy food, use the Earth’s resources wisely and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle."
World Food Day has been celebrated annually in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945.
This year's theme is "Our actions are our future" and it can begin with a simple step of not wasting food. — AT, GMA News
