Hi AppleSouffle, …
Hi AppleSouffle, the numbers are there, and the UN has now taken up the issue. It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh.
But yes, corruption is another evil, making distribution a real problem.
But again, the idea is compassionate, conscientious change in our own individual ways.
Thanks for watching. ~DQ

Somewhere I …
Somewhere I remember reading it’s not true that we could feed a zillion more people if everyone were vegetarian because plant foods are not nearly as energy dense as meats.
I have heard 2 people on Public Radio, who are involved with sending food to people in Africa, that the problem is not having the food to send, but that so much of the food can’t get to the people. The selfish leaders take most of everything that’s intended for the poor people.
