Buy a ticket to the Disgusting Food Museum in Sweden, and you'll find it is not printed on a piece of paper.

"Instead, it is a vomit(呕吐) bag with our logo,"said Samuel West, who set up the museum. It was a joke. But it sounds reasonable in some ways. Inside the museum, the foods with some of the world's most terrible smells are on display. Walking around in it, someone may want to vomit.

Yet making people vomit is not West's purpose. "I want people to know that disgust is always in the eye of the visitors," said West. "We usually find things we're not familiar with disgusting."For example, the tree-ant larvae (幼虫) eaten in Mexico.

There are nearly 80 dishes in the museum. They come from Asia, Europe, the United States, Central and South America, Africa and Australia.

West wants people to know that disgust isn't just about taste or smell. It's also about the way the food is made. In the museum, some foods might taste pretty good, but are made in a terrible way. Those include French foie gras (鹅肝酱). This dish needs to feed ducks or geese with force. Another example is the monkey brain(脑). It is said that in some places, people eat the brain while the animal still lives.

West hopes that the museum will help people rethink what is delicious food. He also wants to encourage people to try more food that are environmentally friendly.

Most of us don't have to worry about our next meal because we know there is plenty of food available. But many people around the world are not that lucky. They live in hunger every day.

 According to a UN report in 2019, about 113 million people around the world suffered from acute(急性的) hunger in 2018. The number of people suffering from hunger stayed above 100 million from 2016 to 2018.

 Acute hunger is the most serious form of hunger— it refers to those who will die soon if they don't have food. Nearly two- thirds of people facing acute hunger come from just eight countries, including Ethiopia, Syria and Yemen, the report noted.

 One reason for this is war. Some 74 million people, or over half the number of people facing acute hunger, are living in war- torn countries.

 In addition, climate change and natural disasters(灾害) pushed another 29 million people into acute hunger in 2018, according to the report. This number includes people in southern Africa who faced droughts(干旱) that year.

UN World Food Program Executive Director David Beasley called for world leaders to" step up to the plate" in order to meet the UN's goal of being free from hunger. He called on them to solve the problems .

 China has worked hard to solve world hunger. The country is working together with the UN to help other countries deal with serious hunger problems.
