is it possible to feed the whole world? If so, why do you think it hasn't been done yet?

Answer 1

Yes it's possible. It's all about money and politics.

Answer 2

Another way to help with the hunger of the whole world is to teach birth control. People go into a part of the world where people use to have a dozen kids, because over half of them would die from one thing or another. Now these people are receiving immunizations and all the children are living. So now you have families with 12 kids and no way to feed them all.

So my answer is to feed all those who are living, but teach birth control. Of course the question is where do you start? Do you begin in your own country or do you go to another country to begin feeding people? It is a dilemma that will not answered in the near future.

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of a game called Nature where you had to keep a balance between; Rain, Grass, Deer, Wolves, Fish, Birds etc. If one increased too much it killed off another. No rain, No grass, No deer, No wolves. too much rain, lots of grass too many deer, too many wolves. You get the idea.

Well the worlds just like that. Too much food to too much population. With that you get; War, Disease, Famine, Flood, & Death & Destruction.

It's Gods way of keeping a balance in the world.

That's why it's not a good idea to feed the starving millions in Africa, because you will have twice as many starving tomorrow. And all that suffering would be our fault.

It's best to allow those countries to reach a sustainable level on their own. It's sad. But it's Gods plan.

Answer 4

The problem is mostly one of politics and distribution of resources. Africa is a great (or lousy) example of this. There are many nations being led by corrupt dictators who hoard food and other resources for themselves and those who protect them, like their military forces, and the people only get what's left, if anything. The famine a few years back in North Korea is probably the most vivid recent example I can think of.

On top of that, in my opinion, if we went to a diet that was based significantly less on meat (I'm thinking mostly about pork and beef) and we fed the grain given to those animals to people instead, we'd have an even more ample food supply, distribution problems notwithstanding. I'm borderline vegetarian myself, but I have a really hard time giving up bacon and sausage. :-)

Answer 5

The whole world, a population of over Three BILLION is being fed if not daily at least enough to keep them going. Some of those billions may be scraping slop from garbage cans but they are eating. When reports of people dying of hunger surface those reports rarely mention the fact that greed& corruption contributed more than 'an act of God.'

Yes it can be done -- -- but who would profit?


Peace.....

Answer 6

yes it is, were all a bunch of greedy bastards we're consious of the problem, but when have we ever actually tryied to solve the problem? we rather complain about it than actually doing something about it, we prefer to blame the world governments insted of looking for other ways to help out,.... I wonder if there are programs that instead of giving food every now and then, try to plant fruit and vegetables, make canals to make water more available to try not to depend on foreign or local political help so much, may sound stup1d but to me is more effisient

Answer 7

It's been proven that the entire world can indeed be fed. However, logistics, politics and sometimes profit prevents the countries with surplus from giving to the countries with a deficit.

Answer 8

China fed their whole nation under communism - people give what they earn and take what they need. The Western world hates communism so they wouldn't do that. They feel aid makes people lazy and dependant, and is bad for business.

Answer 9

Because they haven't figured out how to do it and still make a buck. Money rules the world and when Sh*t becomes valuable the poor will be born without a**holes.
And apparently Mego thinks it's America's responsibility.

Answer 10

Yes, it's possible. It's greediness and selfishness that have stopped that from happening. People care more about making money and living in luxury than about keeping others alive.

Answer 11

They're still working on buying the world a coke.
