How Capitalism Made the World Food Crisis

a Politics in the Pub forum, presented by Socialist Alliance

• According to the UN nearly a billion people are starving or suffering from malnutrition & the recent price rises have added another 100 million people to this category.

• Meanwhile, the annual cost of dealing with over-eating and obesity in the rich countries is estimated at US$120 billion a year.

• If the money spend on commercial advertising were cut by just 1/4 US$250 billion a year would be freed up to feed people

Is there a way out of this madness?
