Suppose there were enough food to feed the entire world...

How would we distribute it so nobody went hungry?  Before you go
off (like so many fuzzy headed social science types) half-cocked, 
inventing ridiculous pricing, distributing, and marketing schemes, 
let me tell you that I have calculated (here, on the back of this 
envelope) that it is indeed quite possible to distribute the food 
in an orderly fashion without resorting to complicated methods.

WHAT??  There already IS enough food in the world?!?  What about
my orderly scheme?!?!?
