There's enough food in the world to feed seven billion.
There isn't enough will.

yes there is , because today 7billion are fed

I don't understand. What about the 1,000+ people who die of starvation or related causes every hour? What is your definition of 'fed'? How many calories?

Population is continuously trying to overshoot and being cut back to the level that there is food for. systems try to adapt but we can out-breed any advance.
ok its a dynamic formula.
Lets say the food supply increases 5% a year, if population tries to increase 10%, the difference starves; millions starve because there's enough food for 7billion+5%; not 7billion+10%. whatver the numbers are I dont know.

I understand there is waste and hoarding though, perhaps one must differentiate practical food supply from absolute, including the fact that reality is chaotic.
People want to hoard *because* reality is chaotic. but given the increase from 0.5->7billion, it seems 'the global system' suceeded in delivering what billiions wanted

People starve because they are poor, not because there is not enough food in the world. Sometimes I think those who deny this elementary fact and keep fretting about the lack of food are just providing a distraction from the failure of global capitalism to distribute global productivity equably.
