IT JUST WONT DO

Nyhedavisen today writes about supermarket Superbest and Spar that - because of a world food crisis - are starting to buy up and storing neccesities as flour, oil and rice.
In major part of the emerging and strugling world foodriots has been seen over the last month as a could be warning of a nearby recession with a nasty face. I too have felt the prices go up, but this one as performed by Superbest and Spar just aint ok. It reminds me of the YEAST crisis back in 1998. We are - where we are - in no immidiate danger of foodshortage, and maybe we should think about sending something the other way or start work the tradebarriers thats keeping a ladder part of the third world to its knee.

Same argument could be hammered against the proffesor who yesterday, in the same newspaper stated that ecological farming is egotistic and asocial and harmful to the progressive development in the third world. Hypothecal I give him the corner of of thruth in his perspective, but untill serious political will initialize to seriously revolutionize the structural mecanisms that keeps poverty as a funky capitalistic tool for getting it what you want, when you want it and where you want it, no third world country will rise above average.
If it do not happen sometimes I could,wish - as I did when I was a simpleminded justseeking child - that we would face severe poverty here, in DK, high and low and be left with nothing but yeast flour rice and oil and a fishingpole.
