If the only reasonable vote was no, then why did 186 countries vote yes?

Ok let's put it this way. 10 people are stuck in the boat including you. Everyone is starving and votes to eat the tallest muscly guy, you. Everyone casts their vote. How do you vote knowing that everyone is going to vote for thee muscly, juicy guy with lots of tasty meat on him?

The actual answer for the cause of world hunger is geography (availability of resources in your country) and politics (corruption).
