And without realizing it, they had come up with a solution to the world
hunger crisis ...

Take the curve y=1/x graphed from 1 to infinity.  Rotate it around the x-axis.
You then have a funnel-shaped thing with finite volume (pi units) and infinite
area.  Now fill the funnel with pi cubic units of your favorite food.  Cram it
in there, so that it completely touches the walls of the funnel.  The food,
therefore, has magically grown to infinite size, and can be used to end the
hunger crisis.  Implementation is left as an exercise to the reader.
