> But one thing doesn't change -- the shocking number of people who are starving at any given time. But that one thing DOES change! It improves! In what sense is the vast improvement since the 1990s not change? > we aren't feeding the hungry. We ARE. Hunger is becoming less prevalent, worldwide. Again, here's a gapminder chart (are you looking at these?). This one shows calories consumed per person, all countries, plotted against GDP, over time. Notice how at the start most of the mass of the chart is BELOW 2000 calories/day; at the end of it all but a few countries are ABOVE that line. Progress is occurring, even in very populous countries. Even in countries with a high rate of population growth. How do you explain that fact? http://www.bit.ly/15h0Wp4 http://www.bit.ly/15h0Wp4 > When it comes to hunger, there's no point in arguing that that we can feed the hungry If you meant to claim we don't feed the hungry, you should have said that. But you said can't. While giving a link to support it that said we can, and what's more, that showed that we were.
