Very good question, and a very sobering topic. Just looking at these pictures you've posted brings the reality many face every day to our attention. I feel like we are so far removed from this in the USA and Canada that we sometimes forget how blessed we are.
i know lots of people on food asst and majority of their food comes from churches while the government cuts assistance or does nothing. its hard understanding what taxes go to these days, war, subsidies for big biz, wall street bailouts.No, the government should not be in the business of rationing food unless there is a national emergency like during WWII.
Hunger is a problem the church should be addressing, not the government. It is a place that we as a body have failed. There is an amazing book out there called "The hole in our gospel" which shows how we have failed to take care of the poor and needy like we were commanded to do by Jesus.
there is more than enough fertile land in Africa to feed the people there 10x over. the problem is the land is owned by non African people and they would much rather see the people die. same thing that happened in Ireland and India. Brazil is a top five agri producer with a top five starvation rate.
Yes. It is not an issue that the world does not produce enough food, but that greed is causing so much starvation and strange shiftings in food and medical treatment worldwide. We waste so much here, but food definitely shouldn't be rationed - it wouldn't make any difference to those starving in other countries.
you think its just greed that causes all the problems? maybe in some cases but IMO many of these giant food companies have more money than they will ever be able to spend in 100s of lifetimes, they are smart and they know that, i think its more, i think its a dark agenda. i read that GMO food is the answer to many of these problems, makes food more abundant, but this modified food is different than the Lord-created food so i dont trust it. i also read that many of the vitamins and nutrients are absent in the modified food. i dont believe in altering the Lords creation, its like mankind saying i can do better and we can not.
