    There is enough food produced globally to feed everyone alive and still have some left over.

    The problem is a large portion of it goes bad in the grocery store because no one buys it and it ends up in a landfill.

      More broadly speaking, it’s poorly stored and distributed. But yes, we do a miserable job of keeping people fed.

        do you actually believe this? how many people you know (directly or indirectly) go unfed?

          Well, I know maybe 30 people who I talk to on a regular basis. And none of them are currently starving. So I guess my local food bank isn’t actually stretched to the limit. And the South Sudan famine is fake news.
