Thoughts on world powers (5)

So I just wanted to hear about your thoughts on the international issues in our world like ISIS, world hunger,and stuff like that. Anything would be fine even stuff that's only happening in your own country

Well my thought on world hunger is that in truth no one should be hungry, due to the amount of food produced each day and government assistance. But the sad fact is, that most governments don't really do anything about it. The occasionally food drive yes, but a lasting effect no.

Some facts related to world hunger:

"Raising animals for food is grossly inefficient, because while animals eat large quantities of grain, soybeans, oats, and corn, they only produce comparatively small amounts of meat, dairy products, or eggs in return. This is why more than 70 percent of the grain and cereals that we grow in this country [the USA] are fed to farmed animals.

It takes up to 13 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat (…)."

And a few funny things about the fresh-water-shortage issue:

"It takes more than 2,400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat, while growing 1 pound of wheat only requires 25 gallons. You save more water by not eating a pound of meat than you do by not showering for six months!"

So? What do you think? It really isn't that hard of a problem to solve, but it isn't that easy to make people change their habits, and as Vicki-san said, governments always seem to have more important things to do.

i realize i will sound terrible but i think that "world peace" will never happen. conflicts will always happen. however, we can always try to make it as good as possible, and that is something everyone needs to think about. i live in Sweden. i think that the immigrants are the biggest subject that people are talking about. stuff like

"if they are going to live in our country they they need to learn our language!"
(how are they going to do that if they cant afford any lessons?)

"you are all rasists! they can stay here if they want!"
(thats true because everybody need a chance)

"they are so mean"
(yeah SOME of them are mean)
