The world produces enough food for everyone. Why are one billion people going hungry?

You can go anywhere in the world, and people's faces light up when they put delicious food in their mouths.

I find that people in the food world are amazingly willing to talk about what they are doing, even when those things are quasi-legal or taboo.
