Global Hunger

If all the Ministries out there would be held accountable for the funds they raise to feed hungry children there would be millions of dollars to go toward feeding the hungry people of the world. Millions of people donate to the organizations believing they are making a difference and most of the time the money never goes where it is supposed to, it usually goes in someones pocket. Why are they not held accountable. How many died last night that didn't have to?

Food Crisis

It was shameful of US News to actually suggest that GM crops can save the world....there is already a crop that has the ability to localize markets, localize food production, localize clothing production, localize paper production, localize fuel production, localize fertilizer production....the list goes on and on and on...

That crop is HEMP.....a crop that was illegal NOT to grow(if you had a certain amount of land) in Jamestown @ the beginning of Europeans in the US...

Interesting point.

In article linked below, the author discussed in detail many of the issues raised in this US News article.
