On
the breadline

The West has always had
access to cheap food. Food in the EU, for example, is a lifestyle,
not a choice. The West gobbles up both GM and organic foods
like there is no tomorrow.
Africa, who takes the blame for everything
from HIV to overpopulation, is a large, sparse continent of
only 770 million people. Infant mortality is high, and the
average life expectancy is lower than in developed countries.
Donald G McNeil Jr of The
New York Times sums it up very well:
"The rich grab too much of everything, including biomass".
The problem, he observes, is 'more Marxian
than Malthusian'.
