Food riots may occur when there is a shortage and/or unequal distribution of food. Causes can be food price rises, harvest failures, incompetent food storage, transport problems, food speculation, hoarding, poisoning of food, or attacks by pests. Hence, the pathway between food related issues such as crop failure, price hike or volatility and an actual “riot” is often complex.
Some argue that volatile and high food price are just part of a “perfect storm” combining with climate change, population growth, resource scarcity, and urbanization leading to social unrest. When the public becomes too desperate in such conditions, they may attack shops, farms, homes, or government buildings to attain bread or other staple foods such as grain or salt, as in the 1977 Egyptian Bread Riots. Often, it is more than an issue of hunger and the need to obtain bread for immediate caloric satisfaction, food riots are part of a larger social movement, such as the Russian revolution or the French revolution. Thus in places with low political freedom there is an increased likelihood for social unrest when food prices are volatile or suddenly rise. Historically, women have been heavily involved in leading food riots; food riots have thus served as a form of female political action even in societies without women's suffrage or other guaranteed political rights.
Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering and agriculture. Today, the majority of the food energy required by the ever increasing population of the world is supplied by the food industry.
Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies like the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council. They address issues such as sustainability, biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth, water supply, and access to food.
The right to food is a human right derived from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), recognizing the "right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food," as well as the "fundamental right to be free from hunger."
A riot (/ˈraɪət/) is a form of civil disorder commonly characterized by a group lashing out in a violent public disturbance against authority, property or people. Riots typically involve vandalism and the destruction of property, public or private. The property targeted varies depending on the riot and the inclinations of those involved. Targets can include shops, cars, restaurants, state-owned institutions, and religious buildings.
Riots often occur in reaction to a perceived grievance or out of dissent. Historically, riots have occurred due to poor working or living conditions, governmental oppression, taxation or conscription, conflicts between ethnic groups, (race riot) or religions (sectarian violence, pogrom), the outcome of a sporting event (football hooliganism) or frustration with legal channels through which to air grievances.
While individuals may attempt to lead or control a riot, riots typically consist of disorganized groups that are frequently "chaotic and exhibit herd behavior." However, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that riots are not irrational, herd-like behavior, but actually follow inverted social norms.
Security forces in Venezuela have arrested at least 400 people after the latest bout of looting and food riots sweeping the country. On Tuesday (June 14) violence engulfed the eastern Caribbean coastal town of Cumana as looters swarmed through dozens of shops and security forces struggled to maintain control.

Venezuela collapsed under the false promises of Socialist system more than a year ago. Millions have been suffering an unimaginable hell where pets have become a food source and the police become targets for weapons and revenge. Recently Venezuela has boiled over as more than one million people take to the streets to riot and protest their leaders. As long as people continue to give politicians and leaders the power to rule we will continue to see scenes like pop up all over the globe.

In the summer of 2017 violent riots break out in Venezuela costing the lives of dozens of people and leaving hundreds more wounded. The police and the military act violently and vigorously against the protestors who oppose the plans of president Nicolás Maduro to reform the constitution. The people in Venezuela have been suffering for years; a majority of the population is starving. In this web-documentary eye witnesses of the riots tell their stories. Despite being the country with the largest oil reserves in the world, the Venezuelan economy is in a deep crisis. For decades former president Hugo Chávez has kept the economy running by exporting oil, but the country produces nearly nothing itself and depends heavily on imported goods, including food and medicine. When the oil prices droppe...

Prison Architect is the world's latest Prison Management Sim. Starting with an empty plot of land you must construct a holding cell with basic water and electricity to house your first batch of prisoners, to buy you enough time to create a proper cell block. You'll need to hire some guards, get some showers built and unless the kitchen is up and running with chefs working away you're going to end up with a riot on your hands. From there you take your prison in which-ever direction you like. A monsterous super-max or comfortable center for rehabilitation, the choice is up to you. Prison Architect is currently in Alpha which means that the game is playable, but still in development. Not all features are implemented yet and there are many bugs that may affect gameplay. We are currently rele...
Alex covers the latest momentous developments in the Million Vet March in Washington as outraged veterans tear down "barrycades" and move on the White House, a development that has the government up in arms and deploying snipers and riot police in response. Alex also takes a look at the EBT welfare snafu as government IT fails stupendously and millions of "beneficiaries" of the state are left high and dry, unable to buy food, a situation blamed on the same sort of computer glitch that has hobbled the Obamacare registration fiasco.

Well let me tell you, about a girl
The only one for me in the world
She went a long, long way away with my heart
You red hot lips, your fingertips
Oooh, you make my heart flip-flip
You went a long, long way away with my heart
Whenever I was lonely you always used to come around
We gotta whole lotta lovin' and a whole lotta huggin'
down
And when I call you on the phone, to meet you way out
of town
Oooh well on that day, yea I caught you foolin' around
She told her friends, before she ran
There never ever be another man
She went a long, long way away with my heart
Whenever I was lonely you always used to come around
We gotta whole lotta lovin' and a whole lotta huggin'
down
And when I call you on the phone, to meet you way out
of town
Oooh well on that day, yea I caught you foolin' around
Mmmm, so sweet so fine
I really thought that girl was mine
She went a long, long way away with my heart
She told her friends, before she ran
There never ever be another man
She went a long, long way away with my heart
She went a long, long way away with my heart
