World Hunger

The article, "The Scarcity Fallacy" by Stephen J. Scanlan addresses the issue of World Hunger....actually...it doesnt. Instead it addresses what is NOT the issue surrounding world hunger. Scanlan acknowledges that most people believe that the reason for world hunger is an international shortage of food. However, it is actually a result of sociological and environmental factors that in turn result in a shortage of affordable food.
Solutions to world hunger have been approached through the method called "supermarket model". this method works to grow dependence on large global food industries. Unfortunately for the poor and hungry, the "supermarket model" is no productive but rather counterproductive because it causes an increase in the price of food on the market. Thus, hungry families can still not afford to buy food for themselves.
Today, the ratio of amount of food per person is the highest it has ever been. The real issue is the distribution of this surplus of food to areas with people that are poor and hungry. Scanlan addresses the true problems of world hunger as poverty, inequalities, and corrupution in food aid programs.

From reading this article I feel a little skeptical about the whole food aid programs. Why exactly is it that people as a whole havent quite figured out that what we are doing right now is counterproductive towards our goal? seems to me that we would have by now and that some changes would have been made. Yet even if changes were to be made, would it actually be possible to solve world hunger?
