"How should we behave as Catholics, in facing a problem that influences our poor brethren, who day after day find it harder to bring a bare minimum of food home? The hunger problem has always existed and it is evident how it has threatened entire nations of the earth over the course of history. The problem does not come from the insufficiency of the earth's food production, but the lack of equal distribution and the fierce attitude of those who take advantage of circumstances in order to hoard basic food supplies and increase their cost."
