"Food: Commodity or Human Right" by Ruth Messinger
"The UN recently reported that more than 1.2 billion people worldwide are undernourished. This number is staggering by itself, but what makes it even more appalling is the fact that, last year, enough food was produced on our planet to feed humanity nearly twice over. If we have so much food, how is it that 30 children will die of hunger or a related cause by the time you finish reading this column?"
