What can you do? Cut your meat-eating in half, especially beef. It’s bad for you anyway. And cut your driving in half. It’s bad for you anyway. (bikes, carpools, etc.) And cut your bath-taking in half. Americans waste too much water.

I’m sure plenty of people in the Pentagon would love to just bomb half these countries out of existence, but the food experts are saying we need to feed them.

Only rampant capitalism is blocking supply.Free market religion gone mad.

Great analysis from CNN, when people are hungry they could either die at home or do something, even something is against the law!!!—They die anyway if they don’t do something, when they do something they might survive even it is against the law!!!
