#Hunger

Food security is the grand risk-management game by which a nation trades its citizens’ hunger for an illusion of safety. Piles of stockpiles and a bloated bureaucracy resemble an insatiable collector of grain warehouses. A market manipulated by import controls and subsidies becomes a banquet unaware of whose appetite it’s meant to satisfy. Between ideal and reality, only the humble ready-to-eat meal performs its duty faithfully.
