Jeez, I swear, people blame Global Warming for every social ill the way athletes thank God for every touchdown. Both are ridiculous.NWJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230649432043971400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-59163109606838938252008-05-01T19:56:00.000-07:002008-05-01T19:56:00.000-07:00Hi my name is Nina Hamili Piao.

But I dont believe that. Food source had really gone scarce due to changing agricultural lands into industrial ones. It has affected our family so much. I cant imagine those people who eat once a day before this crisis occured. Can they even eat now? <BR/>I just hope that things would go better and not worsten..<BR/><BR/>May GOD bless the Philippines, my beloved country!<BR/><BR/>_Nina Hamili Piao_My Probinsyana Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136384222370249864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-15324424554869415412008-04-30T12:27:00.000-07:002008-04-30T12:27:00.000-07:00Wait, I can only buy four 40 pound bags of rice fr...Wait, I can only buy four 40 pound bags of rice from Sam's Club? Man, there is a food shortage in the US - let's riot!<BR/><BR/>I scoff at the US's faux concern for it's own food supply when clearly there is so much more need elsewhere. We in the US typically overindulge and could probably use a few days without our 3-4 meals per day.<BR/><BR/>Check out the What the World Eats photo series here: <BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2gtz7qAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609296632758753315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-57526625696674414252008-04-26T05:27:00.000-07:002008-04-26T05:27:00.000-07:00Great post brother.

COSATU (trade union) is warning that food riots are not too far from the streets of South Africa.<BR/><BR/>The signs are there.<BR/><BR/>Bread is expensive and scarce in places.<BR/><BR/>Veggies and fruits cost as much as meat. <BR/><BR/>In fact, I can't tell you that we can find good veggies on the shelves here. We are dumfounded.<BR/><BR/>You can but the best of German autos in any color and trim. Don't expect though to find apples and spinach plentyful anywhere.<BR/><BR/>Peace Dade,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-48833915189352812632008-04-25T08:21:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:21:00.000-07:00Dade, fear not.

Although these are very bad things, and very bad things effect people in horrible and tragic ways, even if things get much, much worse than they are now, that means that things will get back to about how they were in the 1950's. Things have got much, much better worldwide over the last fifty years. So, this a terrible, frightening crisis that should be speedily and thoroughly addressed, but the minute hand is further away from midnight than it was twenty years ago, in my opinion.Dan Binmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631203781543243534noreply@blogger.com
