WHAT IS FOOD SECURITY?

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THIS IS JUST ANOTHER BUREAUCRATIC MADE UP SITUATION TO CALL HUNGRY PEOPLE AND ESTABLISH THE BUREAUCRATS JOBS.
IT TOOK A LARGE PANEL PHD'S MEETING IN THE FORDHAM LAW SCHOOL IN NEW YORK OVER SEVERAL DAYS IN 2008 TO COME UP WITH THIS DEFINITION: "FOOD SECURITY: ACCESS BY ALL PEOPLE AT ALL TIMES TO ENOUGH FOOD FOR AN ACTIVE HEALTHY LIFE."
NOW I REALIZE THAT I AM NOT ONE OF THE WORLDS GREAT INTELLECTS 9as anyone who reads this blog can attest), HOWEVER, I CAN SEE THE NEAR IMPOSSIBILITY OF THIS BEING ACHIEVED HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CERTAINLY IMPOSSIBLE IN THE WORLD.
THERE ARE JUST TO MANY VARIABLES, DROUGHT, FLOOD, TEMPERATURE EXTREMES, INSECT AND DISEASES, POLITICS, GIANT FOOD CONGLOMERATES, GOVERNMENT CONTROL, REBELLIONS. THIS LIST COULD GO ON FOREVER AND WE WOULD NOT RESOLVE ONE OF THEM.
ACCORDING TO PETER MANN FROM WHY'S GLOBAL MOVEMENTS PROGRAM THEY FEEL THAT THERE ARE 4 A'S TO FOOD SECURITY.
THESE SOUND VERY LIKE A SOCIALIST STATE WHERE FOOD IS USED TO CONTROL THE MASSES.
1. AVAILABILITY, HEALTHY FOOD SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL.
2. ACCESSIBILITY, FOOD SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
3. ACCEPTABILITY, FOOD WHICH WOULD BE CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE TO ALL
4. ADEQUATE, FOOD SHOULD BE NUTRITIONALLY ADEQUATE AND FROM A SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM FOR ALL
THE WORDS "FOR ALL" ARE A CALL TO SOCIALISM.
THIS GROUP CALLS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AROUND FOOD AND CLAIM THAT NEARLY ONE SIXTH OF THE WORLD POPULATION IS CHRONICALLY HUNGRY AND MALNOURISHED, I HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT.
THESE PEOPLE ARE FOUND IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, THE INDIAN SUB-CONTINENT, ASIA, LATIN AMERICA, CARIBBEAN AND IT NOW LOOKS LIKE BELARUS COULD JOIN THIS GROUP.
THE SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS HUNGER IS "POVERTY AND IGNORANCE".
FOOD INSECURITY IS WHEN THERE IS NO FOOD AND NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY IT IF IT WERE AVAILABLE.
HERE IN AMERICA THE LACK OF JOBS, INABILITY TO PUT A ROOF OVER ONE'S FAMILY, UNEMPLOYMENT, HUGE ENERGY COSTS AND THE INFLATION OF FOOD OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ARE THE MAJOR CAUSE 18 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS AND GROWING FOOD INSECURITY.
IN A WORLD WHERE ONE HALF DEPEND ON RICE AS THE MAIN FOOD STAPLE, CAN YOU IMAGINE IF CONTROL OF THAT ONE GRAIN WERE PLACED IN GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL? LIVE OR DIE BY THEIR WHIM.
"FOOD SECURITY IS IN THE HANDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL, GAINING KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN LIFE AND HOW TO STORE IT, MAKING A LOGICAL PLAN, IMPLEMENTING THAT PLAN AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF AND FAMILY." dennis p. harris 6/22/2011
