The contradiction between plentiful global food supplies and widespread malnutrition and hunger arises primarily from food being considered a commodity.

When it’s profits at all costs, this is what you get - unchecked capitalism and mass inequality.

How do you explain the decrease in hunger over the last several decades? Did the profit motive just come up during the pandemic?

Not sure if you are posting in good faith or not, but a decrease in hunger does not mean there is no hunger in the world.

As if there was no hunger in the world before capitalism…

Really strange what-about-ism on your part. Kind of low effort.

There’s no whataboutism going on here. You need to check what that term means.

This is not unchecked capitalism, is capitalism working perfectly as intended and there’s no other way.

What are you guys on??? People aren’t going hungry in capitalist countries. If you checked were all the famines were happening last century and this century, it was not in capitalistic countries.

Why do you think that happens bro? Why do you think people in those wonderful nations have such high living standards? Because they live off the backs of the exploited.
