Raj Patel at World Hunger Year Event

This clip is the last of Philanthromedia's four featured speakers from a Thursday evening event at Cooper Union, hosted by World Hunger Year (WHY) called Step up to the Plate: Ending the Food Crisis. Raj Patel is a Fellow at Food First and the author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System

Patel spoke about how important America is to the global food policy system, and about the ways that Americans need to take responsibility for that roll. He warned of the importance of taking our democracy seriously, and he cautioned that Americans can not simply settle for the choices available every four years.

@TheOringinalBRad I think he's got a good point.."which Mountain Dew should I vote for?"..ooooh,now THERE'S an important serious vote..NOT!Consumerism IS king in this country,and while we waste food here,there are many around the world who go hungry and starve to death.I was born a citizen of the U.S,but I'm not blind to it's inequities to it's citizens and others around the world.

1JO 2:22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.

1JO 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the (antichrist), which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

@TheTruthIsFromGod 1 John 4:1-3 says, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world."
