    No comments here by the rightwing christians. If the headline was 200 million fetuses suffer hunger then there would be 100 comments by now from the anti-choice crowd.

    Just goes to show again that the rightwing only cares if babies are born but do not care at all after the birth

    Fasting for a day is a great idea. Then send the money you save to a charity that can make a difference in these hunger stricken areas. Now that would show real care about other, not the fake care we see so often.

    FAO says global food output will have to increase by 70% to feed a projected population of 9.1 billion in 2050.

    It will need GM food to do it if it can be done.

    Donate one day of US Military spending to UNICEF.

    These poor places need spontaneous abortion pills and birth control. Could make a big difference.

    Zurc, I agree with you about the right wing christians.

    After reading the article I can only think of each human being has a right to the fruits of the Earth. Distribution is an issue. Paying farmers not to grow food is another. People starving and people out of work. Should be a way to help each other for after all is not food production production and therefore could be represented in money to pay the workers? War and injustice could be handled via a strengthen world court with teeth protecting the rights of all. Food is a basic right.

    zurcronium: Would you like to volunteer for what you prescribe for others? Yelnats? Did not think so. However on a positive note I am sure you would work to ensure this problem is eradicated.

    All these nations governance must upgrade all the time. If China can reduce unemployement to below 10 percent,why not other nations.

    It is matter unity of people , excellence of governance and improvement of infrastructure,which invites global companies.

    China has used this idea,to full,to good sucess.

    More poor nations, can and should role model China's sucess to escape poverty.

    World nations should subsidise wheat/rice and other main food grains,so that all can buy more and give more.
