You said we have enough food to feed everyone. Obviously not.

Well, there is. The only issue is that we're more willing to throw food away than give it those dying of starvation for free (or for a very nominal price).

That is not actually correct although there is a lot of waste.  The UN estimates that ending world hunger each year would cost  $30 billion.

That's not the same as there not being enough food to feed everyone.

Not much point in having enough food in NZ etc if the people in Africa are starving due to lack of money,not sufficient land to grow, drought etc. Just because there is an abundance of food does not mean that people don't starve.It will cost the minority to once again come to the party.
