A U.N. investigator lauded Cuba yesterday, complimenting the country's ability to keep its citizens fed.
Jean Ziegler, United Nations independent investigator, was in Cuba for 11 days and said "We haven't seen even one malnourished person. The right to being fed is the priority, without a doubt."
Cuba includes a "right to food" in its constitution.
