FOOD CRISIS -- One billion people go hungary.
Submitted by jimmiller5417 on July 16, 2008 - 10:10am.
Is the insane drive to keep oil flowing into the developed countries, the root of starvation of people in the poor countries?
"The ERS researchers expect worldwide economic growth to slow and food and fuel prices to continue climbing, leading to an "ongoing deterioration in global food security" within these 70 developing countries. Food shortages will be particularly acute in Sub-Saharan Africa and are expected to grow in Asia, where previous projections had charted improvements in food supply. Those gains, according to the ERS, have been "slowing to a halt."
