Not sarcastic but how many die from starvation right now? Is that starvation b cause there is no food or no money for those people starving?

How much is waisted that could be used to feed the hungry?

Can this even be calculated?

When I think of these things I wonder how the heck can there be hungry people in saskatchewan when we export billions in food?

McDonald’s in USA is doing their part I had a water and breakfast sandwich $ 2.00 even on food stamps Americans shouldn’t go hungry.

Now I’ll put on my farmer hat hahahaha hahahah

This shit just keeps coming up to get us idiots to grow more for same price as 1900z

If those without money in the world had money to buy food, there could be a food shortage but until that happens there is more than enough food to feed those with money.

This horse has been beaten to death for how many decades now, but farmers keep increasing yields hoping there is a major crop failure or disaster elsewhere.

Have you seen the latest product at Costco. ..doomsday kits of food...enough for a year for 4....and shelf life of 30 years....

And yet there are starving people in the world...

It's been said for 50 years how are we going to feed 10 billion people....


NO one ****ing cares...

Trudeau could have donate the value of those costume to food aid instead of being a moron....

They always tell us to grow more.
But the fricken rail way can't or will not move more. Talking to the wrong group..

Man made global warming, food shortage scams go hand in hand follow the money.

There is no food shortage in the world. ....none.

Trudeau could send the entire crop of pulses from Canada to starving countries....he chooses not to.


He could leave the money in Canada. ..just by paying farmers here....

I believe feeding the world is far more hand to mouth than we realize, the problem is complacency and being comfortable living hand to mouth. If there was ever a huge disruption is supply caused by some natural out of our control phenomenon that reduced supplies going forward it would show just how precarious the balance actually is. Even without any food waste or spoilage.... how many "days" would that buy us...

Maybe 101 can show us a yearly world supply and demand chart, or stocks to use chart.

Steady as she goes until something huge upsets the routine.

With zero production, or maybe even severly reduced production, I think world stocks are measured in DAYS not years...

Think about it.

Its all available at costco.....no problem.

Or you can overpay for food at any fine Weston family grocery....lol

There is no food shortage....just no willing participants to do anything but write a cheque to dictators ... that hasn't fed anyone yet.

We all know Vancouver and west coast sits on a major fault. It is just when it happens. East shipments have mostly been done away with.
