More than 72 percent of Venezuelans — surpassing 21 million people — do not have an adequate diet. In contrast, only 24.8 percent of citizens have adequate food consisting of proteins, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruits.

More Consulting polled more than 2,000 people to obtain these numbers, which revealed that nearly 48 percent of Venezuelans are not adequately nourished. More than 24 percent of people are suffering a critical food situation without enough protein or carbohydrates.

The survey also showed that most people in Venezuela fear the possibility of running out of food.  They live under the worry of getting their food.

According to More Consulting, 88.9 percent have feared, at some point, of running out of food at home.

Nearly 53.9 percent of Venezuelans said that at least once, they have gone to bed hungry.
