  • Ethanol does not need a specific grain, it can be produced in a very wide way. Global food issues are linked but not to a profound extent.

    I think we have all learned what folly it is to directly feed any nation. Let that nation learn to feed itself. Provide the tools but let the work be done locally. Africa is a classic example. Let Africa feed Africa. Providing the tools is appropriate; any more is foolish. STOP & learn from the past! NO more "charity"; , it is not productive to that nation.

  • Why is it every time Food and Africa are mentioned in the same sentence it is always accompanied by images of starving women and children? There are countries in Africa with the capacity and potential not only to feed themselves but the entire continent and this insistence on exclusive use of such images i feel is dangerously misleading.

  • Food shortage?? Get the fuck outta here.Aint no food shortage.We just got it all at Ralphs & Albertson.

  • here too most ppl watch the media like fox, cnn which are controlled by the owners

  • all the world depends in the US the good thing they won't anymore

    but this is because they use corn to produce methanol, why our government did that?

    to use ethanol as fuel?

    or what?

  • Who says I don't want to think?... Let me anticipate your response: "your comments proved you don't like to think." Now let me tell you my response: "okay."

    Have a great day.

  • Maybe you should move to communist China then? There the government tells you how to do everything. No need to think on your own.

  • I'm not sure why I like this video more:

    1. Al Jazeera's anchorman repeatedly offering a answer to every question he poses

    2. The Body Mass Index(BMI) of the man in the video icon clearly hovers near 40, while a person of normal weight has a BMI around 23 or so.
