You know, it would be a lot easier to take you seriously if you didn't SHOUT EVERY LINE!!!1
Also, and? Food is near-universally more affordable in developing countries than developed ones. People don't typically go hungry because food is expensive. They go hungry because they have no money to buy food, nor prospects of getting any.

I hardly see the relevance. Data suggests that South Africa has hunger problems, which in a MIC with double-digit unemployment is pretty much to be expected. It also suggests that hunger problems are low in South Africa compared to the less developed countries in South America, which may be right but is suspect given that South Africa is both more unequal and has more people who lack an income. It's extremely doubtful the number in question is too
high rather than too low, given that it matches South Africa's level of development.

I'd hardly catalog my post as a diatribe, and it could hardly be considered racist aside from one snide remark about fried chicken, which I directed at
you rather than your beloved country because you're bugging me.
JOswald, generally speaking people who have no income have some trouble buying stuff, which normally includes, yunno, food. That's pretty elementary stuff.
I mean not everyone who's unemployed has zero income of course, but in a country with a GDP per capita 75% lower than America's social assistance can only go so far.
