The article actually says we produce enough to feed the whole world.
Massive death tolls from famines always come down to political stupidity. (Refusing food aid for example)
- lutusp 13y ago> The article actually says we produce enough to feed the whole world. The issue is not whether we could feed the whole world, the issue is whether we do. If we don't, then the hypothesis that we could is small comfort to those who are starving. > Massive death tolls from famines always come down to political stupidity. Political stupidity is much harder to sustain with small populations, people who can vote with their feet.
