Food costs more for us so more kids probably go hungry... because that's who is affected the most in this country when people at the bottom can't afford the basics.

Other people we see and hear about probably die from starvation or war.

I agree with Julia, and this is a deep question that must be answered before it is too late.

Answer 11

Well food shortages around the world would cause food prices to go sky high. Supply and demand people. Because of food shortages a portion of the world starves and naturally people will have less babies causing population decreases. When the population intake of food matches the output of food than it stabilizes.

Answer 12

People get hungary, some die.

Answer 13

people don't eat

Answer 14

Well, the predictable effects would be high price and possibly starvation of a portion of people. But there's never really been a shortage of food in the world - in most cases productivity well outstrips what is required to feed the population of a country, and even the world. The US government, for example, routinely pays farmers not to produce crops in order to keep the price from going too low. And in India, where I'm from, government stockpiles of food often rot in warehouses because of inefficiencies in distribution networks and lack of markets, while many poor people unable to afford it go hungry. Starvation and hunger is much more about economics than it is about the actual availability of foodstuffs.
