Food issues around the world are not easily solved, but with the empowerment of women and teaching women how to grow food, this can change.

Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, said the food crisis won’t be solved any time soon, but by giving women the same access to growing and marketing food as men have around the world, hunger issues can decrease. (snip)

"We need to be sure to help small farmers around the world get access to what is needed to grow food, so they can have the same opportunities to be successful as the larger farmers," said Clinton. "Investing in and empowering women is the smart thing to do."

Clinton stressed women farmers also need to be leaders and help others learn how to grow crops. In areas where the Clinton Foundation has helped with training and education, these people have better farming practices and better food opportunities.(snip)

"Since women and girls are doing a large part of the work on the farms in other countries, it is important for them to be taught the best practices they can use in their situation in order to increase yields and combat hunger in their families and communities," said Clinton.(snip)

Clinton said she was always taught she could do anything she put her mind to: "My grandma always said, 'Life is not about what happens to you, but what you do about what happens to you.'

And how do you propose this ‘population control’ be enacted?

Very simple: Teach women to plant seeds. When the seeds sprout and grow to food crops, feed the women even more food. Feed them more food and they will have many healthy babies. When the babies grow up eating healthy food that the came from the seeds women planted they will have more babies and finally there won’t be enough seeds to plant and they will starve to death.

Viola! Population control!

What do you grow on your farm?

My wife wants to grow lavender and distill it. That stuff is in demand apparently.

Corn, wheat, soy, and sunflowers. Food and oil.

Lavender isn’t a bad choice, its high profit margin BUT hard core aromatherapists (a hobby of mine) will only buy French, English, and Bulgarian because where it grows affects the constituents of the essential oil. However, she could probably sell it to a MLM like Young Living or Doterra. They grow their own but I have heard they also buy from outside sources.

God knows, she really looks like her daddy. Does anyone here know if he is still in the calaboose?

"On June 30, 1999, the day Starr was required to step down as Independent Counsel, Hubbell entered into a plea agreement resolving the indictments and bringing Starr's pursuit of him to an end. Hubbell pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to disclose a potential conflict of interest that occurred ten years earlier. He was sentenced to one year of probation in exchange for the prosecutor dropping all charges against his wife, his lawyer, and his accountant and an agreement by Starr not to bring further charges against Hubbell ever again.

Life after Starr

During the six years of Starr's investigation Hubbell worked for criminal justice think tank NCIA. After all the investigations were finally over, Hubbell worked as an independent legal consultant, general counsel for an Internet start-up, and general counsel and senior vice-president for a large commercial insurance company until July 2010. After a liver transplant caused by a rare form of hepatitis, he moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he now writes novels, posts regularly at www.thehubbellpew.com , www.clydefitchreport.com , and www.talkradionews.com . His first novel, When Men Betray, was released in May, 2014 by Beaufort Books."
