The reason folks are going hungry is because farmers and big corporations like growing Genetically modified crap. Folks all over the world are refusing to eat it, including me. Yeah, my tummy hurts some days, but I feel a lot better when I don't eat poison. We manage to get by on what organic food we can get. Most of the "food" in a grocery store is GM corn. Even a lot of seeds for the garden are GM now. Heck, even the "meat" AKA pink slime is all corn. I better not say any more or I will end up ranting....
We plant organic seeds that are NOT GM and we also eat most critters that happen by.
