Let's not forget the responsibility of the US (and others before
us) in creating the food shortages in some of the hungrier parts
of the world. In Central America, for example, the US destroyed
a diversified albeit subsistence agriculture, and replaced it
with one-crop economies. The banana republics didn't used to be.
Now, when these crops fail, which they do periodically, the
people can't afford to buy the food they need (now imported), so
they starve. Then they have the audacity to rebel against their
duly elected US-backed dictators. Well, it's something to ponder
over your next cup of coffee.
