I'm sorry if I missed your science/biology/nutrition credentials
in this discussion, as well as those of your cohorts who chose to
dismiss the conclusions of this author without reading a word of
her book. Perhaps you'd care to share? Otherwise, I'll be forced
to disregard everything you write, as meaningless drivel coming
out of a well of ignorance.

.........Still waiting, didn't get any response to this part of my
post in the long unsupported rant by the following poster......

No, Johnathan, what you are unwilling to do is accept Greg's
political analysis. Lappe attributes the existence of hunger to an
economy that fails to offer everyone opportunity. She fails to note
that the majority of these economies are really socialist
dictatorships or countries where islam is the dominant culture.
Poverty & food is used as a weapon to keep enough people enslaved to
the leadership of the country in order to maintain control. Sudan,
Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Bangladesh & Cuba are examples of the control
& cultures I speak about. She talks about the plight of landless and
land-poor people and the need for land reform. Of course there is no
definition of land reform, which usually means taking land away from
owners to give someone else. this is another means of control like
the Mexican revloution's land reform and subsequent 70 years of one
party rule.
The nonsense you refer to about universities only hiring highly
credentialed persons is laughable. One doesn't get tenure in a
university unless they toe the politically correct line, or kiss up
to the egotists in the department. Reams of research gets shelved
because the results aren't what the professor wanted. I've spent
enough time working in universities to know.
