We also know that there are enough resources to eradicate hunger for ever from the face of the earth and those who do the maths ask this question:

Could Just 4% of the Wall Street Bailout End World Hunger?

I am happy for the question mark, because just having the resources will not solve the problem – which is a problem only for those dying of hunger, of course.

No matter how much money there is, as long as

-    there is no will to spend it on food for the hungry

-    the employees of the government agencies or the NGOs who distribute the funds are corrupt and put that money or large parts of it into their own pockets

-    some governments systematically kill their own co-citizens – not only through starvation but also actively shooting them

there will be no eradication, yea not even serious mitigation of hunger.

The mass murder through letting people starve to death will go ahead as it always has since history is being recorded. The number of the victims has grown exponentially – but who cares?

The larger context is – as we also know: overpopulation. But who cares to go one step further and stop the exponential growth of world population through  appropriate programs.
