  • Raj Patel, a simple google search shows that the US is not the most obese nation on the planet. are you a real academic?

  • American Samoa is not a nation, so whatever source you got this from is inaccurate. It is one part of one nation (the US), and a tiny part at that: it has roughly the population of the desert town I grew up in. The World Health Organization has the US at #9.

  • @texasoilfields ... So, if Google says it, it is solid empirical truth? OK, I googled it and found out=

    "U.S. Still Tops in Increasingly Obese Developed World - Technology ...

    Sep 24, 2010 ..." on the top half of the first page - along with other, contradictory information.

  • @hjshmuel

    First of all Google doesn't say anything. Google is a search engine. That means it finds things that have been said by other people/organizations. I know this is difficult stuff but try to stay with me.

    Second of all, look at the title you cited: "...in Increasingly Obese Developed World." DEVELOPED WORLD. Not the whole world, just the developed world. The W.H.O. has us at number 9. Not the most obese. Just what I said. You are a moron. Need anything else explained to you? Moron

  • We have companies that spend over millions on new ipods....t.v. and other electronics and we still have poor countries......imagine if we companies stopped making ipods etc for a year and use the money on poverty countries how much change that would make

    They said a dollar can make a difference.....imagine 1 million....makes me sad because my family came from a poverty country.

  • @everybody Please! Watch "money as debt" and "the secret of oz"

    The solutions Raj Patel presents are only symptoms of the Fractional reserve debt system. 

  • Food is a commodity, and commodities are being manipulated, like the rest the equities markets.

    Just the manipulation of the oil price is responsible for a lot of the cost of everything.

  • In the last days a loaf of bread will have worth more than a pound of gold. I would not have believed this prophecy if it were not happening before our eyes.

  • Maitrya is the fake prophet ... 666 in hebrew and greek geometry ... its new world order one religion man... jajaja makes me laught how people can be so manipulated

  • @patienceprence Because it is spam: don't mix religion with the facts and ideology please, don't!

    Seriously: That the recipe of Italian and German failure... Seriously: here is the recipe of facism: irationalism, social-darwinism, nationalism, glorification of ethnical nationality, strong leadership, ethnocentrism and against another particular ideology. Here, you show some irationalism and some ethnocentric anti-Buddhism and many don't want to debate that stupid&unsolicited bulk of shit.

  • Hey brother, You comment got marked as SPAM... I re-posted it.

  • @patienceprence Thank U!

  • oh! yeah, cleaver 'godly' people. he is evil bcoz he is talking abt people dieing of poverty. killing people in the name of religion and all mercy God is very divine. grow up. can you stop one person from poverty. Then u r following divine path. Otherwise u all r evils. JUDGE 4 URSELF.

  • Have you noticed how his head tilts back and his eyes also tilt upward? That could be demon possession or he could be just not human. I've seen those upward-tilting pupils on other reptilian "people" here on YT.

  • OMG! No wonder the world is falling apart with so many problems...with people that have thinking like this...

    kids on the streets having babies without fathers...kids piercing their tongues, eyebrows, cheeks...

    We need more intelligent people on the planet.

  • People are so easily manioulated it's sickening. Wake up! Read the word of god! That's what he came here for, but we are so desperate to see something that we will believe anything. Look up howard storm on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • eat dal and roti people

  • Permaculture forests everywhere!!!

  • Grow your own food people.

  • You can't grow food if you don't have seeds or water.

  • Nano technology should wipe out world hunger and the need for food one day. Plants can do it with the sun. Nano machines should have no trouble producing sugars and protiens for human cells.

  • We are living in a period that can be defined as one of the most turbulent in history.

  • all food item shipped to middle east should have a higher price.

  • This is because the investors are too greedy. They will never bring down the commodity price even if the cost of these commodities goes down to earth. Greedy Investors will sooner or later create their own hell!!!!!

  • he economic crisis, through its sheer scale and reach, is bringing about a wholesale change in the consciousness of working people the world over. The contradictions and weaknesses of this system are becoming plainly evident as capitalism buckles under its own weight. As always, it is the poor, the oppressed, and the workers who must shoulder this weight in order to hold up the privileges of the rich.

  • I believe that a large percentage of this problem stems from the world's over population and the callous attitude of the religious right in the USA. They would rather have babies starve to death than condone or help promote family planning. They are delusional into believing that God would have it this way too. To me this is a ludicrous and negative way of thinking. Prevention is a great and logical solution to our over population epidemic. We have to start now to begin to make a difference.

  • The freighters full of rice are temporarily lost. Ahh no rice...yet. India and Thailand had boom year in rice 2008. God it must be nice being a NAFTA Pirate aboard the "Condoleeza" oil tanker! Its oils fault and the alchohol farmers-SUCKERS!

  • Totally agree with a lot of the comments below. What's needed in the developed world is nothing less than a revolution in how we live - less consumption of inessentials, more green spaces and local urban farming, and to back this up some strong government. What I find disgusting here in London is the amount of food people just put in the bin; they've bought way too much, and most of this organic matter could easily be composted.

  • watch?v=XcFA8iSXf2c

  • it's disgussting, people in the west are consuming the double amount of calories than someone let 's say in asia. It's our greed that fucks up the world

  • STFU

    America produces many times more food than it consumes, so take your anti-americanism back to Germany and go suck a dick, krout.

  • "so take your anti-americanism back to Germany"

    oh... The Anti-Americansim-Hunter is back... looking for anti-americansim and finding .... nothing actually.

    Or where exactly has denizzz talked about "America"?

    Idiotic people like you produce your so-called anti-americanism, nothing else.

  • Do you contest the fact that the United States produces much more food than it consumes?

    Because if not, then I do not see why you are replying to me.

    The United States feeds FAR more people than Germany does, so that is why a German has no place criticizing the US on this matter.

    Germany is still a vassal of the US, by the way. As long as a US military presence in Germany doesn't require German approval, Germany is a second class state that can't even claim complete sovereignty over itself.

  • Is it greed or need? I'm not a fatty by the way!

  • It's a natural progression, carefully orchestrated by the banksters.

    Bankrupt the world. Cut the food supply, raise the prices, initiate starvation, people riot, (INSERT FALSE FLAG EVENTS HERE) declare martial law, turn the guns on them and round up the others to become economic slaves herded into internment camps. FEMA etc. for the good of the state.

    The state has been corrupt for the past 2500 years of so. This empire needs to end if the people really want to be free and happy.

    Amenstop.

  • good thoughts. I like the idea within the venus project of having no state. Using technology wisely and for the benefit all all humans and nature can truly remove the necessity for "the state" as well as fractional reserve banking (which is the epicentre of humanities problems)

  • @Slavesrevolt you dick you will be the first person to get rounded up and interned,rule number one dont revolt and if you do dont advertise it over the net,you will be on a terrorist data base

  • Considering 97% of population growth occurs in developing countries, and most European countries, US, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand are going to see population declines soon. Rich countries eventually won't be able to pay for poor countries population explosion.

  • New Zealand is likely to see a population decline soon, as our standard of living has been falling behind that of Australia for some time. Many young people now go straight to Australia from NZ after graduation.

  • This is the same racist puke we always here, Africa feeds Europe, if they stop exporting to europe, Euopeans would starve. The answer to the problem is to get out of other peoples countries and let them feed themselves, they know how to, if the greedy Neo colonial masters (Britian & US) who pretend to be giving AID, and spreading GM seeds all over Africa, that only benefits the loan originators country. Stop the manipulation of the IMF, WB, WTO! These so called philanthropic countries are fake!

  • The encroachment of biofuel crops on the world's arable land? Bingo, welcome to the New World Order.

  • when they demographers predict global population to stabilize around 9 Billion, it won't be "because we feel like it", it's going to be because every single thing u can imagine is going to cost more than you could possibly afford for yourself and whatever children you will have. That's right, it's because life will suck, a lot. We're the generation that'll have to suck it up.

  • And yet, in the US, there are still farmers, (largely corporate) who are paid NOT to grow crops.

    It's insane.

  • can someone tell me how free trade is affecting farmers?

  • Is there any such thing as 'free' trade?

    If freedom isn't free, does it follow that free trade isn't free?

  • Good point. Americans have been brainwashed by the word "free." What have become by running around everywhere looking for something free? Nothing's free. Everything comes with a price.

  • The picture is of greed gone wild. We must not deny these things, but continue to talk about them with people we know, bother our congresspeople about them and see that there is no single issue solution. We all must determine to do whatever we can to make ourselves responsible and help those who are suffering in whatever way we can.

  • it seems to be a smoke screen for greed .. whatever the excuse
