> World Leaders Seek Solutions to Food Shortages Caused by Ukraine War

The Ukraine case isn't a primary cause for the food shortages.

Meanwhile <https://is.gd/KTg5wC> "America's obesity problem increased
40% in 20 years", which means Americans are eating too much. Even more
outrageous is the fact that about 40% of food in the US is thrown away
uneaten <https://is.gd/v4VvyG>. If America consumed just a little less
food, it would be enough to feed all the poor nations in the world.

In addition, the US is using food grain to produce energy.
Anyway, yesterday's headline,
"GRAINS-U.S. wheat falls to pre-Ukraine war levels; corn, soy also drop"

Some of the so called world leaders per Western media are more leaders in doing political shows
than solving world problems.

Ok, the US is the 12th fattest people.
But the first 11 countries add up to about 5+ million in population.
The US has about 325 million.
