We produce far more than enough food to feed everyone on this planet, yet we still see mass starvation in places such as south sudan, Burma, etc.

Why don't you buy them all food and have it shipped there or start a charity that does this?

He doesn't realize you can't just ship it to them. The people in power in their neck of the woods will not allow it.

So you live in non-reality like him. Good for you.

The ones in power in those parts of the world are about control; not just $$$

Just look at Somolia dipshit. It's not ALL just about money.

But, feel free to call Kim in NK and offer him some money so he can feed his people. I'm sure he will give up his control for some more dollars. You know, because he personally is really hurting for money

You're worried about world hunger when Michigan can't beat anyone at all, let alone Ohio State?

People don't have to eat if they cant afford food.

Any place where private property is not protected or respected and allowed to exist with free enterprise, you get widespread poverty and breadlines.

Unless you are high up in the government / coercive hierarchy.

How many hours a week you put in at your local soup kitchen brah?

You don't have to go as far as Africa to find starvation.

1. Their warlords take all the food and keep the people in poor starving conditions.

2.Their warlords control alot of the oil. And oil is more important to the world than starving people.

3. We don't just give stuff away for free. No matter what. Whether it's some food or medicine or disease vaccinations, any of which we have plenty of and can afford to ship to poor countries, we will not do so, because it may affect some corporations bottom line.

Also, the birth rate goes up faster than food availability- at least on the left side of the curve.
