Mankind has opened up the Pandora’s Box of catalysts for malnutrition to spread around the world. Food shortage is the main catalyst of malnutrition and there are many causes of food shortages around the world. One of the main generators of food shortage in the world is the lack of competent resource distribution from governments. “The amount of grain produced in the world today could provide each person on the planet with the equivalent of two loaves of bread per day” (An End to World Hunger, 2000). The United States produces about 2000 pounds of cereal grain in one year (Urvina, 1984). Out of their cereal grain production, about 7.5 percent is reserved for consumption, while the rest is used to feed livestock to produce meats and other consumable products (Urvina, 1984). Russia imports its grain strictly to feed livestock and doesn’t intend to use the imported grain for human consumption (Urvina, 1984). The Philippines uses the grain that it produces as an export material,
