The 87-year-old McGovern and 86-year-old 1996 Republican presidential candidate and war hero Bob Dole devote most of their time to the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program which is run and administered by the U.S. Government.

"Due to hunger or malnutrition, an estimated 120 million school-age children around the world are not enrolled in school. The majority of these children are girls. The key objectives of the McGovern-Dole program are to reduce hunger and improve literacy and primary education, especially for girls. By providing school meals, teacher training, and related support, McGovern-Dole projects help boost school enrollment and academic performance. At the same time, nutrition programs are offered for pregnant and nursing women, infants, and pre-school youngsters to sustain and improve the health and learning capacity of children before they enter school."

McGovern says that the cost of providing a nutritious meal each day to each of these children and of providing a primary education for them would cost the U.S. less than it's military. Educated children, particularly girls, with full bellys, will reduce the birth rate in these countries by half and will bring the countries into the modern world in which it will be international terrorists, not innocent children who will be starved to death.
