C in the air: We are wasting food!

Yesterday's "C in the air" will complete the current topic on food: https://www.econologie.com/forums/alimentati ... 10399.html

FAO is sounding the alarm. Faced with soaring food prices, which are reaching a record level, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Agency warns of the risk of a food crisis and new "hunger riots".

While for seven months the prices of foodstuffs have not stopped rising, the French Minister of Agriculture and the Director General of the United Nations have estimated, Friday February 4, 2011, during a joint press conference in Rome , in Italy, that there was a "real risk, today, of a world food crisis" and "hunger riots".

Concerns all the more justified, according to them, that the world food prices index, which monitors the monthly evolution of international prices for a basic basket, reached in January, a historic peak since its creation, in 1990. This measure thus stood at 231 points last month, an increase of 3,4% compared to December 2010. In comparison, it was 230 points in January 2008, when hunger riots had broken out in Haiti and the Philippines.

To explain this price increase, the FAO highlights "increased demand as well as concerns about wheat stocks", affected in recent months by a combination of climatic disasters (floods in Pakistan, drought and fires in Russia, torrential rains in Australia ...).

Houla it heats on the forum from FR TV: http://forums.france5.fr/cdanslair/Econ ... _896_1.htm

What does moderation (which hatched a while ago ..) do?
: Shock: : Shock: : Shock: : Shock:
excerpts:

Hi,
Bruno Parmentier is one of those machine guns with words that Calvi is always happy to invite to knock us out. When they hold the spittoon, they never let go. But thank him for having avoided the gaucho-tiers-mondiste Jean Ziegler. With him it would have been much worse.

You have to know what we're talking about. 1) Waste as a fact of society: then we must try to change mentalities. Wasting food is immoral for people of my generation who never throw bread. In 41 and 42, under the Occupation, I searched the garbage cans to find something. Like many other perishable products, we keep yogurts well beyond the date. Having lost a little of their water they are only better. We don't throw anything away! Not even the crumbs we put in the soup. It is immoral to waste. But it is not this reason which makes the misery of the Africans.

2) waste seen as a challenge to hungry populations. And this is another debate where, moral has nothing to do. The problem is political. So, I rebel once again against this ideology of whining about African countries that "lack the means" to cultivate their land themselves. Have our peasants "had the means" to cultivate the land for centuries? In the 60s, I saw Soviet-made agricultural machinery rust in Mali due to lack of maintenance. Are Bengali, Vietnamese and Cambodian farmers also lacking in resources? And what can we say about the Andean populations who are even more destitute but valiant? And yet, no one is constantly complaining about them. It is a well known fact that jean-foutres always demand resources as we see with our judges and our officials. And it works as long as the fools that we are agree to pay without complaining.
The secret of Asian farmers? They work ! In Africa it is women who work. Men are lazy, and their leaders corrupt to the bone. And there is no hope that it will change. What is the use of international parlottes if nobody ever says to African officials: start by getting to work!
We Europeans have our share of responsibility in this situation by perpetuating, against all reason, this policy of murderous assistance. Yesterday was because of the Cold War; by greasing the leg of the potentates with billions of dollars it was thought to limit the Soviet advance on the African continent; meager result: out of fifty states, hardly five or six remained in the Western fold. All the others chose Mugabe state collectivism and the chaos and killings that go with it. Until the 60s, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) was the bread basket of southern Africa. The dictatorship chased the whites and distributed the land to the peasants. But they are unable to manage these areas. And misery has replaced opulence. Mugabe is happy. His country is socialist.

Today, we continue to fight to "feed Africa" ​​as if it were an obligation! And this in the hope, chimerical and constantly denied by the facts to slow down towards Europe a migration of parasitic nature. Thank you very much for welcoming the "minorities"! At the last Copenhagen summit, a further one hundred billion dollar extension was decided to help Africa take part against global warming. For what they give a damn, CO2, Africans! As for knowing in which Swiss or Luxembourg accounts they landed, the billions ...


What a masquerade tonight's mag. I followed diagonally but enough to understand that it is still a question of making people feel guilty. We want to put a bomb in their pants so that they finally shut up. Let's wait for the revolution.

They are able to say that the popu is wasting while it is not wasting. Does that mean that these thieves, who talk about waste, they practice it! nice mentality.

ah the blonde's voice, it's hellish to hear it. what a band of bankers.

Why is wheat listed on the stock exchange? good question that has no answer.
Wheat belongs to the French people because it grows on their land. You will have to put yourself in the head soon we will no longer buy you the wheat (nor the food in general) and that it is each one who will produce his crops and that it is finally soon the end of the disgusting industry and the excessive enrichment of the mafia political / capitalist / Zionist oligarchy.

THERE IS NO RING OF HUNGER BAND OF RINGARDS, THERE ARE REVOLUTIONS OF RAS BOL WHICH COVER EVERYWHERE;
They are still telling us about hunger in Africa. No, but they are ridiculous. There are certainly more and more poor rebels but to stop with water and hunger! water ... these ****** rds have planned ski slopes in the desert !!! they have deprived to irrigate golf courses in Arabia, to divert water from Africa! they have planned to divert water from the Rhone to France to irrigate their hotel complexes and golf courses and green spaces! (money diverted by / for politicians)

The task will be tough (because of the Chinese, it seems that they arrive by the hundreds in containers! Once loaded on the trucks no one knows where they are stored LOL. Note that no one checks the contents of the containers anymore: they are unloaded from the boat by the crane operator who recharges directly on the truck), but we will regain control. We are not going to do as in Egypt, wait on the Place de la Nation for the sarkoteam to go away (they should already rot in the dungeon). We are going to dislodge them from their constitutional palaces and if the Chinese or German army shoots, it will be time to appreciate.

In this mag, more than ever false witnesses (actors).

Africa in general, has decided to no longer call on other countries, and to limit import / export. Engineers teach the population non-intensive, clean and reasoned agriculture, and there they are still trying to lobotomize us.

We don't want food to increase, food every human being is entitled to it, and the only way to have quality is to fire the farmers, without any compensation (to leave the EU of course among other things) ), each French - including future former farmers - having the right to their plot to feed themselves. Cereals have been made in groves, by horse and no longer by tractor. And in the form of "cooperatives". We will milk the cows by hand, with a little jump, stool ... Enough of direct refurbishment of garbage cans.

As for the oligarchy that led us there and made us understand this rotten world. She will end up in prison with famiglia. They will have to be prevented from reproducing.

We could take each of their remark and flatten them with delight but not time threatens enough.



In the coming days, it could be that our (your) wallet and our (your) purchasing power will be put to the test again, because the crisis of food / agricultural commodities which is smoldering and which is looming in the The coming months will hurt a lot. The banks and their shareholders are stakeholders in this speculation inherent in the functioning of this excessive and unscrupulous capitalism. There is an urgent need, because the first affected will be the so-called under-developed countries, the most fragile populations such as our compatriots with incomes of 750 euros per month, which represent 7 million people, will be the first victims to take the full brunt of this speculation, and that it will not take more for the old saying "hungry bellies has no ears" was relevant.

Some predict that famines, uprisings, revolts worthy or equal to those encountered in the Middle Ages and its model of economic socialization, I mean feudalism, bringing us much closer than we think, to a pre-revolutionary social and economic climate in 1789.

Banks such as Société Générale and Crédit Agricole offer speculative investors ETFs (exchange traded funds) called "trackers". These products which are traded as a simple action, follow the prices of raw materials, they thus allow to speculate on the prices of wheat, soybeans, corn, cotton, sugar, etc,. Unlike a futures contract, which for example offers the possibility for a flour mill to buy IN ADVANCE at a known price 100 tonnes of wheat delivered within six months, ETFs do not offer any service, but as they increase demand they amplify the rise in prices.

It may be time not to suffer any more, but to act so that the interests of the people, that is to say the greatest number, are privileged, rather than those of the speculators who put their pockets full on our back.

STRONGLY THE CITIZEN REVOLUTION.


And the best for f ... ain (mwarf):

Our leaders are obsessed with the growth indicator. But wasting is a great way to grow, a guy who plugs to go to the turbine on the periphery generates more growth than a guy who goes to work without shit. He burns oil so as not to move forward, but the act of burning his diesel is a great generator of growth.

And for food, it's the same, if I buy eggs to use them for hazing maths, I produce a positive GDP variation that will delight Lagarde even if it is ideologically completely stupid to hazing poor guys.

So waste food. It's healthy for the economy.
