_Definition: The presence of two or more possible meanings in a single passage. Also, a fallacy in which the same term is used in more than one way. Adjective: ambiguous.
Example: We live in a world of paradox: while large parts of the worlds population starve from hunger and/or suffer the consequences of malnutrition, "[r]oughly one third of the food produces in the world for human consumption every year -approximately 1.3 billion tonnes- get lost or wasted".
Final thought:After raising the question, how can one steal that which has been discarded? The author uses "paradox" to better help argue the confusion on how much food gets wasted, yet there is still many people going hungry.
