Should say: Despite the UN, 33 countries in food crisis.
Where does the food come for muslim countries? Medicine and clean water, too.
Like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, etc.
Hopefully the vulnerabilities are part of the grand scheme, should it get nasty.
They can’t repair infrastructure without western expertise. Doubtful they can feed themselves, either.
North Korea made the list? I’m really stuned. (sarcasm off :)
Wonder why Iraq would choose to seek a goat and cowpea purchase from Niger? Does Niger normally produce an abundance of food?
Algore ordered all maize be turned into fuel. People don’t need to eat when the earth has a fever.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
..the four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of government was divided: the Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts; the Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war; the Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order; and the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs...in Newspeak, Minitrue, Minipax, Minilove and Miniplenty....

If so many people all over the world weren’t continuing to be very paranoid as well as also pretending to be very paranoid about genetically modified crops for many years now, then world starvation would be at even lower numbers today than what they presently are. Political correctness is also contributing to the continuing problems that exist throughout the third world. The same thing can be said about the continuing existence of world malaria if D.D.T. wasn’t banned. D.D.T. use all over the entire world is still the best solution to the ongoing world problems with malaria today.
Anyone notice how there is such a strong correlation betweent the countries suffering from food shortages and the ones with the most political instability, the ones fighting wars, and the ones with the most corrupt and useless leaders?
Its not producing the food thats the problem. Its getting it to the people who are hungry thats the difficulty.
Sorry, no sympathy for Zimbabwe!
Next year, Venezuela.
“still depend on food assistance”
sending food to failed regimes doesn’t help the people. It just enables the failed regimes to continue to destroy the country and the people while making us feel good.
In every one of these countries the food crisis is cause by the type of government the people allow.
