Why Hunger?
The difference between you and the hungry
is not production levels; its money. There
are no hungry people with money; there
isnt a shortage of food, nor is there a
distribution problem. There is an I-dont have
the land-and-resources-to-produce-my-ownfood, nor-can-I-afford-to-buy-food problem.
