Why are millions starving while grains and corn are in surplus?

Yes. I'd forgotten about recent movements toward collecting food from grocery stores and restaurants and reselling at discount prices or stocking food banks. By all reports, the developed world throws out obscene amounts of slightly blemished but completely edible and nutritious food because we have become so spoiled by our luxury that we won't buy anything but perfect looking food.

Absolutely!
I know that this thread is about food, but folks do need goods such as blankets, clothing, shoes, in fact a whole range of items. These items gets smashed up and trashed rather than sent out to chgarity shops etc.

I often take rubbish to my local Council Waste Site. People throw everything out from working bicycles to furniture to tools..... quite amazing. But staff at the Waste Site are not allowed to let anybody take anything from the Site. Once dumped, gear stays dumped. Dreadful waste!

What a bunch of liars and cheats. The amazing thing is they think they are influencing anybody other than themselves.
