The World Bank Blog notes that in 2024 32 per cent of the world population, about 2.6 billion people, could not afford to eat a healthy diet. The largest number is in Sub-Saharan Africa, but North America and Europe also had many affected by their inability to afford decent nourishment.
Fill a petrol-powered car with diesel and you will damage the engine. Humans who are forced, through poverty, to eat unhealthy food because it is low cost will also impair their health and well-being.
Under capitalism food is a commodity produced to profit the companies in charge of its production. Socialism, with free access to food, will provide quality sustenance for all.
