MORE JOBS MEAN MORE MEALS

The best way to make sure people have enough to eat is to give them enough work. Amaitya Sen began his seminal, book, Poverty and famines: an essay on entitlement and deprivation, with the observation that "starvation is the characteristic of some people not having enough food to eat. It is not the characteristic of there not being enough food to eat," Food, of course, must be available in large enough quantities, but this is only a necessary condition. To prevent starvation-i.e. to ensure food security-people must have the means to acquire enough to eat.
