The problem with food distribution, as with all the other necessities of life that are withheld in order to protect profit margins, is the very system by which we operate, the system of imposed scarcity and commodity valuation that Technocracy calls the Price System. We are no longer what we are, or even what we achieve, but what we have. This is especially unfortunate in that, in a land of abundant resources and the technology to develop them, the workings of finance actually serve no higher purpose than that of an artifice that separates humankind from its true nature as a social animal. Technocracy has presented ample evidence that the false underpinnings of finance, never a reliable source of security, are rapidly being washed away by the inexorable tide of technological advance. Even more tragic are those promising souls with the brains to see the inescapability of the falseness and who choose not to participate in it.
