Thinking about the current food criiss in Somalia, and other crises around the world, while aid organizations are saying how they're having trouble helping them because of rising food prices, it makes you wonder why these prices are rising in the first place, and ultimately, WHY food needs to be paid for in the 21st century?Think about it, if nobody paid for their food, there would be no hungry people left in the world. It would also mean that working people can have much lower salaries without it affecting their ability to survive because food is free! But what about the farmers and those that provide food, how can they survive? Well they have free food too! They will only get paid to work, but not for the food itself.For example if a farmer spends 10,000 euros to produce food that he sells for 15,000, this means his work is worth 5000 euros. Out of that he will spend 1000 euros on his own food, that means the actual profit he enjoys is 4000 euros/season.By working, he is able to feed 1000 people. So if those 1000 people pay him 4 euros each per season, they would all be fed for 4 euros per season.So why can't people around the world just pay a special food tax that goes directly into compensating food producers for their work, and all parties to have free food and more importantly for needy people around the world to be able to survive.This would automatically decrease the global cost of living, salaries would be less but at least nobody would have to worry about survival.What flaws are there in this idea and ultimately, why can't food be free?

It's good to see someone thinking it through.
Kewl you should come up with that. Excellent!
This article keeps it real, no doubt.
What a joy to find someone else who thinks this way.
I'm not easily impressed but you've done it with that posting.
Never would have thunk I would find this so indispensable.
