About this Quote

This quote by Ralph Merkle highlights the truth that lots of people on the planet today are not starving due to a lack of food production, however rather due to political conflicts and blockades that are used as weapons. This indicates that the issue of world hunger is not an outcome of an absence of resources, however rather a result of political power struggles and using food as a weapon. This quote emphasizes the need for federal governments to prioritize the well-being of their people and to make sure that food is not used as a weapon in political disputes. It likewise highlights the requirement for global cooperation to make sure that food is distributed relatively and equitably to those in requirement. Eventually, this quote works as a tip that world hunger is a political concern, and that it can only be solved through political action.
