broken political systems are the primary cause of starvation because they inherently disrupt supply and production; simply look towards Venezuela for an example if Zimbabwe where productive countries took a drastic turn for the worse.
In the US throw in the issue that many companies do not understand the protection afforded by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Law or that many facilities needing donations have no way to pick them up. Some cities have processes in place to organize and pick up donations and there are even some charity groups that do it, but its not widespread. A lot of waste in grocery is expired fruits, vegetables, and bakery, that may not be covered under the Emerson bill
- bilbo0s 12y agoI'm admittedly a little ill informed on the subject of Venezuela, (though I don't believe people starve in Venezuela either. I've just never been there, so I can't say for sure)... But people in Zimbabwe don't starve. I'm curious where you got this idea? There are a lot of parts of Africa where people DO starve however. Additionally, Zimbabwe's agricultural industry has never been a producer of food. Their principal product was tobacco... which was then traded for food. (Among other things.) You are correct about one thing... the broken political system did do in the tobacco farmers.
