Each student needs to find an article on food security and analyse it to find
the contention, bias and purpose.
The contention of this article is to point out the failure of food distribution that results to food insecurity, not lack of food. It also compares the directly contrasting situations in India and America, where in India 62% is starving and in America 62% obese. The journalist of course is not supposed to be biased, but we can see that he is siding with the criticism of the government and the country's corruption that allows "320 million people" to go hungry when they have "a surplus of 82.3 million tonnes of crops," by seeing that he only interviewed one person, food and trade policy analyst, and entirely writes from his point of view. The whole argument of this article lies in the title itself as you can see. The purpose of this article is to speak out for the people, and of the unfortunate reality in India, and to make everyone aware of India's abundance in food that that doesn't correlate with satisfied stomachs.
