Yes. Its discouraging that since the 60s, the eating habits of American consumers having increasingly aggravated the problem with hunger around the world. It could have gobe the other way if the greed that underlies the American political system wasn't so incredibly robust. The ethos that was beginning to spread as a result of works like "Diet for a Small Planet" by Frances Moore-Lappe (1971) and a growing sense of what our excess was doing to the planet (and all the beings on it, with much of the Southern Hemisphere carrying more than its share of the burden) was taking us in the right direction. There are still vestiges of this ethos everywhere in the Western world. Thanks for doing your best to blow on the embers and remind us why it is not a question of our present habits or starvation. It is a question of radical readjustment for those of us who have become so used to excess that we consider it necessary for existence.
