It's a sad state of affairs when the onus of proof is placed on disproving a myth instead of proving it. > I'm unfamiliar with the views on this, but considering the amount of starvation in the world, this seems suspect, especially considering an increasing population. IIRC, all recent (i.e., in the last century) starvation cases were caused by disruptive events that caused systemic failures in the food supply. For example, all recent famines in Africa are triggered by civil wars.
