Seeking light in a murky world




More and more going hungry

by Melonhead99

TORONTO - World Vision, one of the world’s biggest humanitarian organizations, says it can no longer provide food to 1.5 million of the 7.5 million poor it fed last year.

The organization blames the soaring cost of food and countries not living up to their donor commitments for the decision. World Vision Canada president Dave Toycen says about 572,000 of those who won’t receive its aid are children “who urgently need enough food to thrive.”

Toycen predicts it will likely take at least two years for “this pricing crisis” to stabilize.

He says that’s “far too long” for the millions of children under the age of five who need sufficient nutrition right now to develop properly.

Remember the people at G8 summits, demonstrating? how we laughed at the idiot hippies in thier silly clothes, ranting on about Global Capitalism.  They predicted all this, they were ignored.
