That ’dwarf variety’ wheat, which that guy invented, is the same one which is subsidised by the Egyptian government.

Egypt happens to have one of the highest levels of obesity (70% in woman) and malnutrition in the same population.

So you have obese people who are also denitrified? The research on ’hidden hunger’ will explain the paradox.

This same population who are simultaneously fat and nutrient deficient, are having babies which are coming out deformed. Studies on the Limpopo in South-Africa and Egypt will verify their rates of abnormal births.

So despite all the subsidised wheat, that population is dying a slow death and the poor new-borns are destined for hardship.

We may keep people on life support with these methods, but, in no way are we keeping them healthy.

Looking at the facts: Non-communicable diseases relating to overweight and obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease etc. collectively, are killing more people each year than anything else. These diseases are not cause by lack of food, but, rather, from poor quality foods.

you seem to think that just letting them starve would have been the better course of action.
seems rather harsh.

No, that is the Assumption YOU have made of me.

I happen to think there are better ways of ensuring food security.

Fact: America Wastes 40% of all their food production per anum, which amounts to a whopping 38 000 000 Tons of produce!! A significant portion of this waste comes from fast-food and restaurant chains. All this waste could easily feed all the underprivileged in this world.

The focus is always skewed towards increasing production, but, never on making current systems more efficient.

Then again, it doesn't pay to sell less, but, instead, to sell more.
The same way, it's more lucrative to print more Dollars and drive inflation than fix the cause.

Don't be fooled; these systems were never put in place to save humanity or better our standards. The motives only go as far as the 'select few's' pockets.

To find the truth, one should stop reading the headlines and focus on the fine print.
