Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — less than one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to the UN World Food Programme (WFP).

Easy and simple aren’t the same thing.
We have the production and we have the resources, the thing we’re lacking is the will to make it happen. The people in South Sudan are so distant from me here in Sweden that they might as well be ants in someone’s back yard. Hell, the ants in someone’s back yard might actually be of more import to said someone.
The societies we’ve created just simply don’t care, and that’s where the problem lies.
