Inside Story - Global food crisis - 03 Jun 08 - Part 1

[velvetnotes009]

sorry to say. never seen any white kids looking like this?!

[t4705mb6]

To see this is disgusting. Think the NWO didn't KNOW this was going to happen? Shit, they PLANNED it! They took over the farms. They pushed bio-fuels. They PUSH frankenfood! They lace EVERYTHING with poisons. THEY purposely created the world economic collapse. They continue planning world genocide to this day! They collect "debt" from poor and middle class that NEVER agreed to the debt.

There is WAY WAY more than enough resources for EVERYONE! It's these corrupt "leaders" that are the problem!

[mphello]

Outlaw meat in all developed countries. Make it the law that people go vegan there. That will free up crops and finally shove some real ethics and values into the public, and shove it down their throats what it's like when THEIR laws impose on a person's private life to have abortion, free speech, pornography, or marijuana.

Difference is: meat is not just private matter, but the non-human animal being tortured and murdered.

By the third generation, most genetically modified soy fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies.

WE NEED TO ROUND UP AND DESTROY MONSANTO

[Jai666666666]

800 hundred million people are starving, It's Beginning To Be A Problem... That is so cold fucken hearted, I can only hope I don't ever get to that point..., Cold Fucken Hearted!!!

[wlfee1969]

old post I know, but look into the united states grain reserves. we are at a alltime low.

inclement weather has greatly reduced yields here in missouri, iowa, north/south dakota kansas etc.

[Franco20055]

shit i'm hungary now!!!!! hmmmm mcdonalds or burger king, too many choices.

[BrasilBorba]

The worst part is yet to come, by the end of 2009 the WTO will push the Codex Alimetarius to every country they can, since the disputes about food in the WTO are biased toward the countries that follow the codex, everyone should sign that abomination in time.

[lcbaudar]

Honestly, when I see children going hungry - I don't see this as a "global problem". It's parental irresponsibility. Why fuck did you have a kid if all the kids surrounding you are starving to death!? When a drought comes and animals die, we think "gosh that's mother nature". But when a drought comes and people die "Gosh that's political, conspiracy, elitist stuff!". Everyone has the right to buy seeds and grow his own crops. No one condemned you to relying on some mass farm countries away.

[walter0527]

We have much only because they have little. The planets natural resources are sold for paper(MONEY) that is just printed by the super powers whenever they feel the need to expand their spending. Developing countries do not have this ability as their paper when printed is less valuable. Slavery and lack of human rights have led the most ruthless countries in history into the seats of power and no compensation is offered with interest to the many countries that have been ravaged by their greed.

[IGNsucks]

there's no one to stop crime idiot its possible a women was raped and its not like she can go to her local clinic and get an abortion, duh retard

[lcbaudar]

Stop watching TV. You think these mother's got raped 6 times and had 6 children. They have so many kids because the child mortality rate is high and they are trying to "increase their odds". It's more instinctual than pre-determined. My point is we are reaching peak food production. Minor disruptions have and will have vast affects on populations because they have exceeded the natural food production of their land. They rely on outside exports knowing it spells doom if it stops.

[IGNsucks]

you don't live there so you can't call them irresponsible just like that, it makes you sound like an idiot. They have many kids to increase there odds since the mortality rate is high, like you said, but its probably also to continue there culture and race. If they all stopped breeding because there wasn't enough food then it would be pointless to continue to live because their race, culture, values etc would die with them.

[lcbaudar]

Look get over the petty insults. I get it we're all noobs and pwned and bull shit like that. Do you live there? You are saying enduring culture is worth starvation? Would you have children right now if you lived there?

[IGNsucks]

most of the people there were born into poverty and will likely die in poverty. they know they aren't going to go on to do great things or become leaders. the have kids to give meaning to their lives and hope that their child will somehow go on to live a happy life, one that they never had. living isn't living if you don't have a reason to live. and what gives someone more than enough reason to live than a child.

[lcbaudar]

That's a commendable ambition, but the child ends up 1) Dies 2) Lives a life of poverty and hunger. Who's pleasures are we really fulfulling? The parent's desires to "be somthing" or the child's desires to "live". This is where I question the parent's motives. It seems like a selfish equation given the risks the child faces.

[IGNsucks]

It is a bit selfish, but everyone wants to be remembered for something. plus your forgetting one option which is highly unlikely but still possible which is that the child could make it, they could escape a life of poverty and that's enough incentive for them to have a kid. wanting to continue one's blood line is part of human nature.

[lcbaudar]

I could agree with you there. Maybe one child will crack the shell of poverty. Is it worth it on such a national scale of the country? How much misery for a handful of refugees to "tell their tale". Until people admit the land cannot suppor them, then there will always be a "food crisis". Why don't we put a bunch of people on the moon and say there's an "oxygen crisis" that foreign aid must send them oxygen and show on TV people suffocating. You know what I mean?

[IGNsucks]

Yeah I know what you mean, but it is still their home. why do you think people who have there house destroyed multiple times by landslides or earthquakes don't just move.

[lcbaudar]

I don't know?? Maybe they are too poor to move. They have no transportation, food to travel with or a country willing to harbor them. So they sit and die. I think that's understandable. But the kids man, why have the kids!?!? It just makes no sense to me. There has to be an equilibrium. If all the aid stopped, nature would show them that equilibrium. But we continue the aid and they have more kids. Seems like the blind leading the blind.

[IGNsucks]

you don't see where I'm coming from because you're taking the cold calculated approach. with all things considered, except human nature, then yes it is stupid for them to have kids considering the type of lives they have but people, most of them, want to continue their name and pass something on. conservation is just as important as preservation.

[lcbaudar]

Okay. Seems we've pretty much arrive at a conclusion. Having kids is human nature like a species. But the circumstances make it stupid. Should we blame them for being human or for being stupid? Should the world aid their stupidity or aid their human nature? Where do we draw the line?? At which point do we say, no we won't aid you - you guys are being stupid!

[fantacular]

@lcbaudar Its a lot of blind leading the blind... but its on both sides of this equation. You have corruption over ignorance, and greed on top of more greed! If no one looks at the bigger picture and things don't change, EVERYONE will have to deal with this problem. Listen to more of Vandana Shiva's stuff and you'll get it.

[yourfiction]

There is enough food. But that the different Western countries in the world don't do anything against big corporations destroying food, for example because it is cosmetically not good enough for supermarkets, nothing will change about this. And how much are we already using for producing ethanol which could be for food?

This is a man made problem. We have enough food, but we don't do anything to distribute it evenly.

[manhunter9]

do you think we will ever rise and take over the elites?

it can only happen with mass gatherings since they can buy power

[kusari86]

Neveer , The Masses follow and support the elites .

[Bozewani]

Really, and your BMI is? Mine is 23 and I am pretty average for my country

[Mozadek]

we got to capture the elites!

[seth797]

Some one doesn't want the west to ween itself off of foreign oil.

Wonder why?

[Bozewani]

I love how the trading guy gets humilated after his profession is attacked.

Your only problem is that you don't feel enough humilation.

My belief is that people are motivated by social and emotional concerns, so people will change their behavior if they are publicilly humilated.

[Bozewani]

How much food are they wasting in Rome

Practice what you preach, you motherfucking hypocrites!

Here's my solution

Anyway with a BMi over 28 and who eats more then 2,000 calories a day (more then 62% of Americans) should pay surchanges on their taxes!

Anyone who has more then 3 children should also pay!

If you instionalize such a system then the food crisis would disappear

The reason why food is soaring is because of the obesity in the West, The obese people should pay!

[krist300]

THe truth is, almost all population growth is occuring in countries with marginal or no farmland, little rainfall, and poor economies and poor education. The problem compounds itself because of the law of exponential growth. Watch the video... " the most important video you will ever watch" basically, whenever exponential population growth occurs in organisms, either 1) the population runs out of food, or 2) They choke to death on their waste (ie pollution)

[kusari86]

What do you think we have now? The food supply is institutionalized and that is the problem , along with the institutionalization of Money and every other social field.

[KARStarla]

I just went online to "Mountainhouse" and they can't handle the food demand, and "survivalacres" has not been able to fulfil an order for awhile. Theres another video on Youtube showing they are running out of food where they store it for crisis's and they have had to turn people away, this was all predicted years before what we are seeing now. This is awful

[christian8715]

You know......I really find it cynical that the media starts off by finding who to blame.....I think the problem is collective and grouped up by alot of converging factors. A huge problem rarely consists of a single factor...converging factors sound more like it

[Jesusplant]

86% well hell someone has to make money of all the starving and dieing people ... please note my sarcasim

[krist300]

simple fact is there are too many men, too many people, we can do any problems, but not much love to go around, can't you see this is the land of confusion?

[GLENNTILE]

GREAT SONG. GENESIS

[fallinus06]

West is increasingly appear selfish

[Earthlasthope]

If I had the money I would let no one starve. If this means anything to you add me and help me find a way to stop this, This really hurts me that I cant do anything about it

Serious add me and help me fix this

[christian8715]

I believe it was Lord Acton that said....Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Its also written in the bible that the love of money is the root of all evil. I appreciate your heart. Don't wait till u're rich start nw

[Earthlasthope]

I am doing my best, Is a uphill battle isnt it

This video makes it all the more real

[subz4155]

The world has too many people. Mother nature will hit back by culling back excess humans.

[jammoexii]

We could probably feed everyone on earth now, assuming our current model of industrialized agriculture is sustainable - which isn't very certain, maybe not even likely.

But what we can't do is feed a continually growing population. What we really do need is solid birth control programs - everywhere. Or we will have mass starvation and death. Period. That's the choice. We either institute a worldwide birth control program that we might not all like, or billions of people die.

[mnnh1]

Robert Mugabe makes the guest list. Hilarious!!

[cradle2light]

the way DNA of plants are modified and manipulated by inserting other non plant DNA may lead to a new chain of action and reaction=MUTATION( virus bacteria fungus etc)

also the way Staple food prices can manipulated by CARTELS in the FUTURE MARKETS means BILLIONS of people in developing country may Move DOWN into Survival Mode!!!! so FORGET about POVERTY REDUCTION!!!

DEMANDS that drive up the prices is MINISCULE compare to the DRIVE BY GREED!!!!

[cradle2light]

the CUTS taken to the BANKS by Speculators MIDDLEMEN AgriCartels is UNCONSCIENCABLE

compare what is taken home with BackBreaking Sweat and Tears.......

if action is not taken SOON the Speculator may go into Carbon, oxygen,WARS and SOULS!!!!

thats why that STAPLES and even CURRENCIES is a BASIC that should not be SPECULATED

or ELSE may lead to ENSLAVEMENT of Developing and Poor countries!!!!!!!

[Clogphil]

Recent adances in genitically modified foods would go a long way toward solving some of the problem ... but of course Europe would rather see millions starve than endure the unproven "risk" (?) of Franken-Foods.

[JamesBen007]

lack of food ...ha! theres more food than it can be consumed..its just the U.N aka Illuminatti hwo are controling the food market just to apply to reduce 80% of world population..hey don't belive me..its ok..do your research..remember GOOGLE is your friend..use it!

[lllllllNewTVlllllll]

We are probably only 1-2 years away from most items being priced in a basket of currencies, versus being pegged to the dollar. This will help some in the short to medium term, but all currencies will have to deal with incredible inflation over the next several years.

[RG415WBFAA]

Price controls, trade subsides, and tariffs should all be gotten rid of as they hurt the poorest among us the most while hurting others more indirectly. Governments are to blame as they hurt the people through aggression. Property rights are not secure and the foundation of government is anti property rights. Property rights are human rights!

[yu255673]

...Its strange, the two ladies on the panel sound like they are lecturing the idiot from the FAO...

[photofu]

the shortage is a scam and evil managment, the earth provides ample.

[klonedklein]

It is/was preventable and serves a greater purpose. It is nonsense... Nonsense.

CorporAmero/EuroFascism is the reason why, and nothing else.

[cooldude91801]

I think the speculation and falling U.S. dollar is to blamed. Investor are speculating on commodities. Sadly the poors has to pay the price.

[Peraj82]

85% of agricultural market belongs to only 5 supper giant companies which dicide who goes to bed hungry

all of these are the part of reducing the population of the world which was disigned as a part of New World Order............

[Slavesrevolt]

Greed an unenlightened self interest is killing the world.

The world produces enough food but distribution is a problem. We in the west throw away more than it would take to food the rest.

So many liars and deluded sycophants.

[yu255673]

...we waste the food instead of giving it to poor countries because it would decrease the prices in the first greedy world...

[Earthlasthope]

If I had the money I would let no one starve. If this means anything to you add me and help me find a way to stop this, This really hurts me that I cant do anything about it

Serious add me and help me fix this

[johnhart30]

Thanks for sharing.

The U.N. has it's on agenda on distribution, and this is only the beginning.

[rkmetta]

Love India, Worlds greatest country , Hate Biased medias like BBC

[Chipimbere]

Why on earth did they invite Mugabe to the summit?

[spinozany]

Good question. Perhaps so the world could see him spout his lies. The man has ruined his country, now he's starving his people.

[yu255673]

...Assholes need to be invited...Maybe the can pickup a little good behaviour and etiquette...Plus its better to talk with people you disagree with, the US policy of not talking is a good example why it does not work...

[ratonnewmex]

can you believe what a toilet of white trash the U.S. is? pathetic....

[Will0Wisp]

Does anyone think that maybe since the west is "crunched" by the sky rocketing oil/gas prices, the rising gas prices might be to blame for some of the world hunger/ shortage? Believe me, we are buying less food with our money these days. Hollywood paints a pretty picture of what the world thinks we do every day, but it is far from the truth. There are people going to starve in the US this year, and no one will ever know :(

[blackxavior]

Who is the US is going to starve? You know the government is paying farmers not to plant crops? They do that so US farmers can get a fair price for there crop and therefore have a reason to farm. If the government let Kansas farmers compete in a free market there would be mountains of wheat next to the silos. I remember seeing mountains of wheat just setting on the ground because there was no demand for it in the 80's.

[usama2]

Bush is an absolute disgrace. He shirks responsibility at every turn. The end of his term and the world is going hungry, but he defends his biobusiness buddies. Cargill profits up 86%, world cereal stocks lowest in 30 years. World oil companies have record profits, 800 million people go hungry, even 1000s in America. Bush blames China and India. He's a disgrace even to his own father.

[blackxavior]

Really easy to blame one man for all the worlds problems isn't it.

[lockmanfortruth]

gargils profits are up 87 percent as 100 million people starve? i used to think greed was killing my country, now i know it is killing the world.
