the sad thing about that is, we do. the people who can afford it, waste it. and even if we did produce enough food for the ENTIRE human race to live off of and waste some also, there would be no resources left. the human race is so enormous that the entire earth would be dead and gone by now if everyone got what they wanted to needed.

If someone would ask me that question I would answer: I personally do not contribute to feeding all hungry people. Because I do not feel their pain and hunger. I do not feel it because my connection and love for all of mankind (therefor also the ones who are hungry) is little. If they needed my help, on a more fundamental and deeper level. A spiritual level, they would get it. I would feel them. But they don't, the despair of others doesn't do anything to me. Only the love and attention others give makes me perform any action. I am sure I once had a life in which I suffered from starvation, It's not like thats the end of your soul. It only makes you stronger.

Nothing good would come from feeding everyone in the world. Yes the logistics would not work but feeding everyone in the world would have the same detrimental affect food aid has had in Africa. I recommend Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo. The real solution is in the empowerment of women, through education and internal changes in the way a society thinks. Other than charities like Oxfam we could try building giant libraries in third world countries and just leaving the doors open. Think.

Think back to Economics 101....the problem of distribution. We can grow tons of food, but getting it to where it needs to be is the hard part.

People need to care and share. And not only share our excess food but also share the wealth of knowledge and resources that all may provide their own food. Anything less shows the greed and apathy of the people behind the world systems.

The poorest Indians live on the richest places in India. They live in places where the eyes of the MNCs, mining corporations and obviously the Indian Govt. are set on..

There are people going hungry in even the richest nations on this planet. However, it is often not from the lack of food but from the lack of funds to purchase food. That said, many people need to understand that food is fuel for our body and does not always have to have a new or unique flavor. Balanced meals of appropriate caloric value are attainable for costs that would allow access and/or distribution to the entire planet. Unfortunately, for many parts of the world, a full stomach is not enough. Flavor and packaging sells and we fall for it.

I think we should always help, and we don´t have to be selfish, but we have to be carefull because almost of the money a1nd food that is given to the 3rd world countries, to help, sometimes don´t go to the right way, and is lost to people that don´t need it.

The reason we don't is because we wall ourselves off into private clubs called countries instead of existing as a global community

There seems to be plenty of misinformation and assumptions involved with this topic. The U.S. is the 3rd largest producer of wheat. That's right, third !!! China is the largest producer of wheat, and India is the second largest producer of wheat. The first two producers comsume almost all they grow. The U.S. is able to produce more than it comsumes because the free market enviroment we enjoy creates superior technology and profit incentive. It would be impossible for the U.S. to feed 6 billion people. So, the same old blame America crowd continues to spread lies and misinformation about how evil and selfish our country has become. Fact: Most starving nations survive with the help of the U.S., even North Korea, who we fought in the 50's, receives food aid from America. Where is China and India? Most people that criticize and blame America have never left her safe shores to see for themselves what other nations are like.
