PaC: The hunger business, the stock market or life?




by Christophe » 15/06/11, 20:16

Clearly, the economic subjects are raining right now ...
Tonight on FR3: Evidence - Food: the stock market or life? The hunger business.

Bread, flour, oils, pasta, cookies and even meat ... prices keep going up. After soaring oil and energy prices, it's food's turn to break records.
Since 2007 and the subprime crisis, we speculate on wheat, corn, rice, rapeseed, barley and soybeans. The whole staple of our diet has become a financial product like any other.
But that's not all, now global food is in the hands of a few multinationals. They impose a model of industrial agriculture, where farmers have become workers in agribusiness. They too are participating in the soaring prices and the disappearance of local agriculture.
Almost a billion people are hungry, yet not all food is needed to fill stomachs.
A good part of the crops - wheat, corn, rapeseed, soy, sugar - end up in the tank of our cars. The best example: 40% of North American corn is used to make agro-fuels!
Investors and giants of the food industry have embarked on a frantic race to cultivate millions of hectares around the world, in order to seize the best arable land, in Africa or in South America.
The teams of "Exhibits" investigated in France, Africa and South America the real reasons for the food crisis.

It's very interesting, again, human evil is created by the speculation of high finance ...

What are we waiting for? We keep licking their asses? : Evil:

International bankers and high finance cost France and the French taxpayer (and not only French) more than Rmistes and foreigners which are too often singled out by the "little minds" ...

... Look at the details of the charges on your tax sheet ... it's the period!

So there are 2 possible things: either we continue to accept and feed this mafieu system, or we do not continue ...Facebook does what on the issue?

They showed French breeders of cows and their calves who are hungry, for lack of overpriced fodder and who will stop breeding.
In Brazil ditto for chickens as in France, insufficient income.

We wonder what we will eat in a few years, apart from junk food.

Well if there is a criticism to make to this number it is good that they have not spoken (or just 1 time) of the lack of rain ... then yes the speculators on the food are dung but they are not the only factors of price fluctuation ...

Chances are that Sweet (industrial shit chickens) will get European aid on its Brazilian production ...
