There are some who complain that there is not enough food grain. But I put the argument that at the moment we use 2000 census population figures and require 50-55 million tonnes for distribution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have been growing more food than we need since the '60s... what we have is a terrible distribution problem.
People are hungry not because there aren't enough farmers or food, but because they don't have access to it or can't afford it.
You've got a global food problem. You've got a food problem in the United States. You've got a food problem in Africa... in Asia. And so the truth is, the U.S. is going to have to produce more, on not very many more acres, honestly. And so we're going to have to do a better job.
As people move further away from a meat-based diet, I think the focus will shift to using grains as the central focus of our food supply.
Three-quarters of the world's population doesn't have enough to eat!
The world produces enough food for everyone. Why are one billion people going hungry?
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.
When is population going to become an accepted part of the food debate? If it's fine to encourage people to think about halving their meat consumption, can we really not cope with a conversation about how many children we have?
Grain that is used to feed animals that end up on our tables as turkeys and hams could have gone to feed starving people.
I have not been able to get any grain yet. It is all in the country, and the people talk instead of working.
