Hungry.

12% of the world's population go hungry while 1% of the population own half the world's wealth.

This is because of the conventions of our economic system.

Corporations exploit the poor with the consent of shareholders.

Information is withheld from public scrutiny.

Financial details are secret.

So we are powerless to stop these crimes.

And we benefit from them.

Our dividends, our profits all derive from this economic system.

The only hope is charities like Feed the World.

But economic justice is impossible while this system remains.
