"Feeding the World"

"The food scarcity part of the argument in the population debate is an interesting one -- people are hungry not because the population is growing so fast that food is becoming scarce, but because people cannot afford it."
- Anup Shah-

PERSONAL COMMENT:

Yeah. I do believe in his statement. As a member of the population, i am also experiencing hunger. Nowadays, 5 pesos cannot heal our aching stomach... But before(I ask my mom) a cents can feed one individual. We have lots of sources for our food but the problem is it is too expensive. In our school me and my friends bring our own "baon's" because Cheeseburger cost 75 pesos. We can save a lot of money if we dont buy that burger. But.... maybe there's a main reason why food cost too much... Corruption ???
