    At the root of hunger is the fact that 77% of fertile land is beeing used to produce feed for farm animals that are beeing eaten by only 19% of the population.

    I believe as you say we need long term systemic planning to eradicate hunger. That being said while we bring about change that will help for the long term we cannot ignore that today and everyday this year 17,000 children will die of hunger. 13.1 Million children will die this year of starvation or easily treatable diseases, like diarrhea, cholera etc. I have done work in Africa, South America, North America. In South America, and Africa many people live hours of walking from a store. When they do get to a store there is no food for sale. They do not have enough land to grow all of their food. The average person I met in these areas outside the cities ate once every two days. So please do not ignore the short term. thank your for your thoughts.

    Pastures in Texas are turning into neighborhoods. So less crops and more people. The government pays farmers to destroy crops to control stock prices. All these pastures use to grow crops, and cattle. Food was harvested in every pasture. It ended in the 1980s.

    Too late, maybe. We've seen this over and over again. Today, four and a half years after this talk, people in the CDR, Bolivia, Mexico, the Middle East, Guatemala, Brazil, Haiti, Burkina-Faso... maybe 80% of Africa's population is not only malnourished, but well under the limits of utter poverty. I rescue dogs, because that's all I can do. If I had the power and the money, I'd be rescuing children, women, men, the elderly, from famine, wars, despicable acts created by the powers to be. We're losing the war not because we're neglecting the poor in the wealthiest of all countries. We're losing the war because we've lost our moral compass.

Every gift Mama has given him he squanders worshipping himself for life his Mama gave him. He who comes against Mama made himself his own enemy, like the hungry serpent who eats his own tail. He who loves his Mama is rich with love for his wife and children. When he awakens there will be fruit again.

    I believe the main reason for all those problems is overpopulation. Probably, the rich people and government still know that they are capable of solving these problems including hunger, poverty, disease and whatsoever. But they don't want to act, thinking that once those problems are solved, there would be more people on the earth, more demand for resources of any type. So, the long term solution is probably saying one kid for one family.

    We don’t starve in modern societies because we created a set of conditions that ensure we’re fed. We’re not taking resources from the impoverished - something or someone is blocking their path to self sufficiency.
    For the impoverished in western society, the largest line item expense in their portfolio is TAXES
    Sales, or consumption taxes, make the cost of living gruelling for lower and middle income earners.
    Over half of fuel is TAXES. That carried into food costs.
    The thieves aren’t the employers or the rich. It’s government over reach, and the multi levels of bureaucracy that are paid 6 figure salaries, life long benefits - for doing nothing. This disease is so engrained in western society, it actually steals budget from services we expect - healthcare, infrastructure, education
    STOP BIG GOVERNMENT - they are the enemy
