It’s not about the quantity of food though is it? Moreso money and access?

This is correct. We waste a solid 1/3 of the food we produce and import. And we’re nowhere close to maxing out our food production. We just prevent people from having access to it.

erhm actually ☝️ the food is not wasted it is disposed of 🤓 in order to maintain manufactured scarcity which keeps the price high and shareholders happy! 🤑 another win for capitalism
