    It’s more a problem with distribution than with production. If we could figure out how to get perishable items everywhere then we’d have less waste.

    Unfortunately that would eat into people’s bottom lines and we can’t be having that. /s

    so i went down a rabbit hole about the village of Chorleywood in Hertfordshire in England and the US Army being responsible for all bread being nasty nowadays and all i can find of it now is this article for the US military and this article for Chorleywood but like, follow this train of thought: you got a dry perishable. put it in a chip bag. fill the chip bag with nitrogen gas. seal it. bam. aerobic processes stop. as far as food distribution, there is no problem. we have refrigerated rail, train, and air. the only thing missing is the will.

    There's also the fact that housing requires upkeep to remain habitable, and many unused homes rapidly fall into significant disrepair. And these homes may not all be in good locations for people who don't have anything. Congrats homeless person, here is your home 20 miles from any source of employment or food!

    Certainly not insurmountable, still emblematic of the issues at the core of society, but there's more to this than only numbers of things existing.

    The US grows enough corn to feed the world. Unfortunately most of it goes to feeding livestock and cars
