There's enough food in the world for everyone, but not everyone can access it

https://reliefweb.int/report/world/theres-enough-food-world-everyone-not-everyone-can-access-it

Yeah, I've read about this issue many times. But one thing is a theory, and other thing is what actually is happening. And fact is - there are plenty of people that hardly can afford to feed their families.
More so - there are many countries with huge overproduction of the food in general, not only dairy or meat products, which seem insane if you think about it. Plus you have the tons of the food that supermarkets just throw away, because is either doesn't look 'attractive' anymore or is close to due date.

But to think of this from the animal industry aspect, if we would think that there's not enough food in the world it makes no sense at all to first grow grain to feed the animals that we then eat. It would make more sense to eat that grain meant for the animals. That's my food industry point.

But think about it for a second longer - how would you want to enforce laws that prevent people from eating meat? If not prevent - even convince people to eat less of it? As you pointed out - small farmers aren't at fault here, they should be able to grow and eat their own food, but they are struggling everyday. Do you know how often farmers burn their own crops to keep the price high? Why they have to do it? Becouse price is so low, that hardly can afford living.
Talking about greedy:

'dirty soya beans'

I guess by now (2023) on average Finns eat about 80 to 90 kg meat per year per person. Let's make it 85 kg. And I think that's a huge amount! It's about 230 grams per day and that's a medium to large size stake in a restaurant here. On average I eat that amount of meat perhaps in a week! So that means that when you count all the Finns who do not eat meat at all and people who eat relatively small amounts like I do, there are people who eat huge amounts of meat. 500 g or 1 kg or more per day and that sounds really sickening every way I think of it.

This actually is scary. Why do you think those stats look like this? Is is traditional to eat loads of meat? In my family home we would have proper meat -meal only once a week, usually at Sunday, you know, big, family dinner. I am hardly eating meat these days at all, not only because I feel bad about it - although I do, but I am questioning its quality. I live now in UK now, and in comparison to Poland - my home country, I think the food standards here are just disastrous.
