Why is food still a source of stress? Food is a solved problem. The amount of food waste alone is just staggering. Healthcare and housing are harder problems. There's no abundance there. But there is something seriously wrong with the link between food production and food consumption.

Food is far from a solved problem. There are many food deserts in the US, where the best you can hope for for groceries is a gas station mini mart. “They can just drive further to a real grocery store.” Yes, but they start cutting into their grocery budget driving there and back, limiting what they can buy. In extreme cases, it obviates the purpose of the trip entirely.

Fair distribution of resources is far from a solved problem unfortunately

Food is a solved problem? You cant be serious. How many animals are unnecessarily slaughtered every year for food? How many people still cant access clean drinking water? How are we going to provide for a ever growing population? Food is an insane issue we have no real solutions for without causing incredible amounts of suffering to animals while also heavily damaging nature in the process. Solved problem my ass.
