Whats the difference between these two, is food security secure access to any food, while nutritional security is access to the food necessary to meet all nutritional needs?

That seems to be the joke but the phrase as defined by the 1996 World Food Summit accounts for nutrition.

Yep, which is why the US still has 11.2% annual food insecurity despite having the greatest food accessibility in the world.

These are victims of capitalism.

Don’t worry, in 2015, FAO also stated we had 60 years of agriculture left, due to soil degradation.

By that math we are on year 52

Did they mean “agriculture at a global industrial scale” or “generally all agriculture”?

Is this why all the soil memes?

If it were legitimate, “let them eat cake” could be interpreted as a sensible plan. The peasants have no bread? We have cake. Let them have some.

In the original phrase, the word used was not “cake”, it was “brioche”, which is a kind of French toast. And the thing is you still need bread to make brioche.

The phrase often but wrongly attributed to Marie Antoinette, alludes to the ignorance of everyday matters from the ruling class that are too rich to even know how to tie their own shoes.
