Discuss how food availability and distribution, technological developments and societal factors impact on food equity. Up to more than half population of the world experienced food inequity due to living in isolated areas, lack of facilities, and environmental factors. While the other half of the population live in large settlements, often on food producing islands and is fuelled by the lure of food exports and imports. There is currently enough food being produced in the world to feed everyone, but due to unjust distribution, the rate of chronically hungry people is increasing. Food equity means equal access to nutritious foods and food security exists to all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to enough safe and nutritious foods for a healthy lifestyle.
Household Food Security in the United States in 2010.

In my opinion, I do believe the government is responsible for the people who can’t take care of themselves, but to an extent. I don’t think they’re doing a very good job about it, now. There should be a closer eye kept on the people who are on food stamps, or rely on WIC for help with their groceries. Laziness and lying contribute to a vast majority of the population on food stamps. And the truth is, most of the people filing for any type of governmental help are either to lazy, though capable, to work (because they know they can get free aid), or lie about things such as monthly income, or the number of family members they support, ect.
