1. More people die of starvation not because of short-term food stuff missing, but because of long-term underfeeding brought in by poverty. That is, indeed, the true reason of starvation death of millions people! Poverty and famine are inseparably put into irons which, at least, a billion people have to carry today, that is, each the sixth human-being on the Earth. And half of the planet’s populace have no balanced dietary intake containing necessary nourishments to live healthy valuable life, that, certainly, affects their physical and intellectual development. 2. Inequality of income distribution existed, since the early days of civilization, when man by man exploitation came into existence. And this truth is known to everybody for a long time. Hence, there was a purely practical conclusion: to put an end to the famine it is necessary to eliminate the social regime when some men exploit others. Private property on the means of production is to be terminated, except for that which serves one’s own work. But solving this everlasting problem which belongs to the economic sphere is being hampered by the political problem. 3. So, if to be separated from unneeded verbal chaff, the true reasons for growing foodstuffs scarcity are exposed - the US currency policy; structural changes in agricultural crops production in favor of the ethanol, strengthened by corresponding stimulating financial levers under the conditions of tight domestic food markets in the developed countries; and, of course, speculative operations in a rush for the maximal profit.
