Let's skip the facts and figures. The world food crisis is upon us. This time the wolf is really at the door. China, India and Africa have put increased demands upon world food stocks. Africa has done this through population increase. China and India have as well increased their population, but in addition a massive middle class has emerged with the diet of the West. Grain has gone to animals to produce meat to meet these new tastes. Thus in Argentina it is "economical" to feed grain to cows to produce meat for export. The locals can't afford meat. But grain is increasingly out of reach. Likewise across the world. In Haiti, globalisation has meant that the locals have had to eat mud to try to curb their hunger.

The global food crisis is the real face of globalisation. Making food into another monopoly money the ruling elites threaten the ordinary people of the world with hunger, then starvation. And our turn will be next. The black lords of the new world order have decided that we plain folk are useless eaters.
