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.
How do you explain the decrease in hunger over the last several decades? Did the profit motive just come up during the pandemic?
Not sure if you are posting in good faith or not, but a decrease in hunger does not mean there is no hunger in the world.
As if there was no hunger in the world before capitalism...
As if people like you don’t have a ring of shit around their necks from their heads being lodged up their asses
