Fix the World
Episode 4, End Hunger
There's an abundance of food on planet earth. Just four plants, corn, wheat, rice, and soybeans provide more than enough calories and protein to fill everyone's nutritional needs. But some people like the taste of flesh more than the taste of plants, so they feed grain to animals, and, then, eat the animals. But it takes 5 pounds or so of grain to make one pound of flesh. So, converting grain to flesh takes an enormous amount of food off the world's table. As the supply sinks, the price rises and poor people starve. Stop eating flesh, and more grain will be available to the poor. Nearly one hundred metric tons of grain are diverted from food use to beer and whiskey production. Stop drinking alcohol, and more grain will be available to the poor. Think about the consequences of food and beverage choices, and, then, do what you really want.
