Food Wars — Starvation Creates Cheaper Labor

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola  Fact Checked July 28, 2022

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

In 2008, an article touting the benefits of world hunger for creating a cheap, motivated
workforce was published on the United Nations’ website

The article resurfaced recently on Twitter and went viral; it was promptly taken down by
the U.N. within 24 hours

The crux of the article is that the elite class has a distinct motivation to not end world
hunger, because if everyone is well-nourished, there may be no one willing to provide
cheap labor and slave away at some of the most physically demanding and unpleasant
jobs on the planet

While the U.N. claimed the article was satire, its author denied that it was a satirical piece
and said it was intended to raise awareness that some people benefit from the existence
of hunger in the world

The U.N. released its 2022 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction
(GAR2022), which warns that a perfect storm of disasters, economic vulnerability and
ecosystem failures are occurring, which predict a coming global collapse
