ALL-U-CAN OVERCONSUME


As I was driving, I noticed this sign placed at the edge of the street. As stated in chapter 4 in Bodley's book, malnutrition is a distribution problem, not production. How come in America, there are these all-you-can-eat buffets and restaurants with food challenges to see if you can consume an enormous amount of food, while people in other countries are starving and undernourished? What happens to the excess food that America does not consume?
