There is no food growth shortages in Brazil, Brazil grows ample food the problem lays with them exporting it. This has become so profitable that the big debate is whether this is sustainable environmentally as Brazil has to keep expanding area's to grow food in whereas they cut down forest to achieve that end. In every country there is people who don't have enough food, this is a income disparity issue not an availability of food issue. If people of any country were literally dying in the streets of hunger there'd be mass protest and violence that would force a resolution to deal with farmers selling food for profit over it's own people.
