> Problem is, there was never that many of us.

Never has been as many obese people nor food waste. We can and should eat less anyways

We're clearly not producing for sustenance, but for profit



> We can and should eat less anyways

Yeah, but 20% less, not a quarter of what we do now, because we obviously wouldn't survive on that.

The food waste is because food's extremely cheap. The fix is to make it expensive.


Hunger is not a production problem but a distribution problem. It isn't profitable to sell things to people with no money so rather than do that we discard it, turn it into something else or whatever it takes to keep the prices up in the producing countries. Do you have a fix for capitalism and the profit motive? If not, obese 'rich' people and starving 'poor' people is what we get.
