Introduction: The old idea of starvation revisited

I would like to take a different stance on food - one that goes away from the good and bad recipes, fantastic or disgusting restaurants, or any other aspect of eating and good food. My focus will be on the idea of starvation – how much food it would take to feed one person who is facing serious famine. Especially with the tragedy that recently occurred in Haiti. The reason I want to focus on starvation rather than the food they have provided to them is because there is a bigger issue that many people need to know about. What is this issue? I am not sure yet, which is why I would like to devote some of my time to figuring out what the answer is to that question.
