I just stumbled across your Twitter handle through the Slow Food UW account and am so glad I came across your website. It seems very interesting and your pictures are amazing, I am eager to continue reading.

Thank you.

We have hunger in the world, because over the last decades we – the first world – have locked in all the farmers in the so called developing world to grow cheap grains etc for us. Thanks to Monsanto for that, too. So now they are not using their land efficiently to grow a diverse crop to feed themselves, but it gets shipped to us where we throw it out at the end of the day because it is past its expiration date or we thought we would like to eat some rice, but then we did not, and oh, it was so cheap, does not hurt us to throw it away. As Ellen says, it is a distribution problem in some way. But the ridiculous part is that it is not even the problem of logistically getting it to the parts of the world that suffer famine. Enough food there already – theoretically.
