Question:

Why does God refuse to deplete his vast silo of manna so that the world's desperately poor may eat?

I'm assuming it's reasonably nutritional...

Answer:

He needs to turn some people into salt pillars in order to flavor it.
Man shall not live by bread alone and most of those people who are starving like the ones in africa dont even know God.
God has provided more than enough in the world to feed everyone on the planet several times over. It is the greed and evil of men who take what God has provided and does not share with others.
LOL. This is the best question I've ever heard. I wonder what modern scholars think mana was. Like the secretion from a plant in the middle east or something? I'm going to go look it up. Ok looked it up. Very fascinating origins of the word and all that, but they think it was: Some modern readers believe this may have been an edible cake called Shewbread or Showbread wafer or the sap of a variety of succulent plant found in the Sinai peninsula, which may have had appetite-suppressing effects (plants of the genus Alhagi are sometimes called manna trees). [4] Others have hypothesized that it was one of the species of kosher locusts found in the region. [5] The most widespread explanations, however, are either crystallized honeydew of scale insects feeding on tamarisk twigs, or thalli of the Manna Lichen (Lecanora esculenta).[6] At the turn of the 20th century local Arabs in Palestine collected the resin of the tamarisk as mann es-sama (heavenly manna), and sold it to pilgrims (JE Manna). Experts in the fields of ethnomycology such as R. Gordon Wasson, John Marco Allegro and Terence McKenna have speculated that just as with the sacred Hindu Rigvedas' repeatedly high praise of the miraculous food soma or the Mexicans' teonanácatl (literally god mushroom), psilocybe mushrooms are the prime candidate in Manna's accurate identification. [7] However, the Sinai is habitat quite unsuitable for mushrooms, and no source attests to any entheogenic properties of manna. Immanuel Velikovsky hypothesized that manna consisted of a hydrocarbon rain that resulted from a close encounter between Venus and Earth. This claim has been debunked by Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould, and others. Sorry digress, but you got my curiosity peaked.
