Answer 3

This is, of course, a huge answer with many opinions. Sarvation, I feel, is most caused by poverty and a lack of infrastructure. In James Diamond’s book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, he writes about how Europeans conquored the world because they grew food sooner with healthier options – options that Africa, South America, Asia and Native Americans lacked. Few edible and fewer domasticable foods grow in Africa, likely the greatest suffers of starvation. But even if we could bring them enough food, we would have no way to get it to all the people whether because of lack of roads, unstable or non-existant governments, or natural land impediments (rainforests and deserts, for example). The book End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time by Jeffrey Sachs has some excellent ideas and solutions on this topic.

Answer 4

Because there is poverty in the world. That and because the USA is too greedy to give up their food. Thats why they're so fat.

Answer 5

Because people are not performing sufficient sacrifice to God. And because people are greedy: "There is enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed." (Gandhi). . "All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajña [sacrifice], and yajña is born of prescribed duties.". . The sacrifice for this age is performing congregational chanting of the holy names of God. This will save us at least the problem of starvation.

Answer 6

bascially, humanity (and those who have power in it) with all it's individual self-interest has decided to not do distribute the basic neccessities of life to all the planet, even though it is a task quite esily done with modern technology. . . Imbalance in the world creates people with power, and people with power tend to want to keep the balance in their favour. I don't mean that the rich are greedy, or any sweeping generalization like that, but I do mean that the society that we have created supports the idea of feeding the rich more (through favourable laws, etc.), and keeping the poor in a state of neediness. This way, the governments can justify their constant need of more and more from the middle classes.. . Basically we humans have created a society that is a big catch twenty-two. All based on the idea that money is priority number one. Therefore feeding the starving masses means taking a loss on what is most important. It just ain't good business.

Answer 7

because at some places, food are not enough..meanwhile in some other places, it's wasted.

Answer 8

Because of WalMart

Answer 9

Because there are too many people. About 5 billion too many. The only way to end starvation is to reduce the population. It may be in-humane, crule, ruthless, and dispicable but it may be the only way to relieve the poblem is to let the ones starving to death, starve to death. I don't like that answer but I can't think of any other.

Answer 10

There is Starvation in this world because there is Poverty and there is nobody else lending a helping hand to the starved ones.
