In a UN vote to declare food a human right, the United States and Israel were the only two countries that voted against the resolution, according to reports from TRT Global and The Guardian. This occurred in a vote related to making access to adequate food a human right

**Submission Statement**
The United Nations General Assembly voted 180-2 to recognize food as a human right, with the United States and Israel as the only “no” votes, confirmed by recent UN Third Committee records, aligning with the 1976 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights—though the U.S., which has not ratified it, may oppose due to its stance against binding economic rights. This decision comes as a 2020 FAO report noted 2.4 billion people lacked adequate food access, worsened by conflicts.
Jews…
Ahh, the usual suspects.
Why doesn’t this surprise me? This is appalling. I’m so ashamed to be from the USA.
Make free uber-eats a human right!
Just 1 country voted no, with 2 flags, but just 1 country.
These two countries are why we can’t have nice things.
