    The contradiction between plentiful global food supplies and widespread malnutrition and hunger arises primarily from food being considered a commodity.

    When it's profits at all costs, this is what you get - unchecked capitalism and mass inequality.

    This is not unchecked capitalism, is capitalism working perfectly as intended and there's no other way.

    What are you guys on??? People aren't going hungry in capitalist countries. If you checked were all the famines were happening last century and this century, it was not in capitalistic countries.

    Why do you think that happens bro? Why do you think people in those wonderful nations have such high living standards? Because they live off the backs of the exploited.

    Countries that have mass starvation or mass hunger are plagued by corruption and war. North Koreans are not starving because south Korea is a capitalist country, but because it's ruled by a spoiled brat.

    The image of a thriving society that's not starving. Please do the world a favour and lobotomize yourself so that at least you will say less stupid things than with frontal lobe.

    You live in a different universe if you think homeless camps in Atlanta are comparable to famines in north Korea or Ethiopia.

    People aren’t going hungry in capitalist countries.

    Are you kidding? People go hungry constantly in capitalist countries, it's just perhaps people you are told not to care about.

    • Homeless people routinely go hungry.
    • Disabled people routinely go hungry.
    • Low-income people routinely go hungry.
    • With the sociopathic demonization of free lunch programs for kids in schools, children routinely go hungry.

    Food bank usage has soared, which doesn't solve the problem, but simply temporarily alleviates it for those who have access to food banks. Many places don't have food banks accessible, and if you don't have transportation, getting to the nearest is not always feasible.

    I have first-hand experience of going hungry, being in a capitalist country. To pretend it doesn't happen is to be blind and ignorant.
