US President 's remark on World Food Crisis  | | I was just going through the news today and there was this article that caught my attention.. "India being blamed for the world food crisis". US President Bush remarked that increasing prosperity in India had led to better diets, greater demand, and increasing prises, all of which had contributed to the global food crisis.. BUT IS IT TRUE?? Due to their huge population, countries like India and China may appear to consume gigantic amounts of food. but it has also been learned that the real elephant in the room that nobody is willing to talk about is how much each person gets to eat. and the answer may shock many. Total food grain consumption ( Figures are collated by the US department of Agriculture)- wheat, rice, and all coarse grains like rye, barley etc - by each person in the US is over five times that of an Indian. Each Indian gets to eat about 178kg of grain in a year, Chinese eats about 291kgs of grain in a year, while a US citizen consumes 1046kg of grain per year. So is Bush right as to blame India and even China for that matter???

| | | | | | 1. bjcyrix (1307) | 6 months ago | Yeah, I quite agree with you. I hadnt heard this news. I cant believe that someone is already pointing fingers with this issue. I dont think its anyone's fault and naming a specific country or person to blame is just so low. I dont think that there is to blame but all of us people regardless of race and country. I was thinking of blaming nature but I guess it is going through these drastic chagnes becuase of what all of us people have been doing. We are abusing our antural resources and so it is sort of taking back. Also, most of the people in the world are so fond of eating that more and more people are getting overweight. The natural resources cant keep up with all of the worlds needs so its telling us that cant anymore. Thus, the food shortage. I dont think that there is nayone to blame but if you really need to point fingers then point it on all of us people including the person who is pointing fingers..
