I agree with BG and with Redleg. I would add a caveat though, that basic human needs should be above and beyond market forces. A bowl of rice should not be a commidity, it should be universal. A steak? Sure. But this planet has too much money and too much food for children to starve to death. .

If one was to seek redistribution of goods to insure that the world is adequately feed - that is a goal that no one should find fault with. I to agree that the amount of food commidities should be treated as a basic need to life for all. Surplus from nations should be given freely to those nations that have not the ability to adequately feed their population.
