  19% of the population of the globe is 1.5B. So there’s enough waste to feed the starving roughly twice.

  As long as you minimize throwing food away, you’re doing great. You can‘t change everything in this world. Have a nice day

  Solving world hunger isn’t profitable. Creating world hunger is, however.

  Interesting. 19% doesn’t sound like a lot to me. To create food security, you have to overproduce, to create food security for all food items, you’ll have to overproduce them individually. I would have guessed that the number would be in the high 30s.

  Anyway, the food is there, and has been for many years. The organizations and distribution networks are there. This is not a failure of production.

  Hunger today is always created by politics, most often by war.

  Artificial scarcity brought on by American imperialism

  So much fun when you open your eyes to you being the fire-nation
