We assume there's not enough to go around, that malnutrition, poverty and starvation are a necessary part of our world. It is a false and cancerous assumption, undermining our future, eating away at our world. It's time to feed everyone. There's not enough to go around. Conventional wisdom holds that hunger can't be eradicated.
Conventional wisdom is wrong.
Less people go hungry today than in 1970, despite a population increase of 2 billion. Hunger is not a natural condition, it is not a factor of a population outstripping the earth's ability to provide food. Hunger is a political condition, according to the nonprofit group Bread for the World . It's not even tied to the health of a nation's economy. Meanwhile we have plenty of resources to give billions in welfare to rich corporations even to the point of subsidizing their pollution.
