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.
hmmm its almost like capitalist countries exploitation of non capitalist countries might have something to do with it.
Also that doesnt explain why people still starve to death in capitalist countries.
