The Great Food Myth

Take a quick walk through a supermarket and you will see piles of fruit, bins of nuts, and stacks of vegetables. It seems that we could never go hungry with so much food available. Yet, the world could go from having plenty of food to not having enough food very quickly if we are not careful.

Tropical rain forests are an important part of the food that feeds the world. Guess which of the plants you see in this picture originally came from the rain forest?
