globalize information, please

never in america ... could there be food riots ...

as there are right now all over the world.

never in america ... do we need to understand how globalization works ... because we globalize we don't get globalized.

this article just touches on the tip of the iceberg ... how america sets the prices and the agenda for the global market ... and has been since the creation of the IMF and the World Bank.

never in america ... will sam's club hoard rice ... oh, that's already happening.

only in america ... do people live so ignorantly that when the real food shortages happen they will be left holding an empty, plastic (non-biodegradable) key food (replace with piggly wiggly, ralph's, giant or any other supermarket chain) bag ...

only in america ... do people WANT to remain ignorant about how other people eat ... or how much fuel costs outside of america ... or how much of the world is HUNGRY ...

until ... america gets hungry.

the time is coming.

so time is of the essence:

my greatest prayer is that more people start to educate themselves about globalization and the slow foods/local foods movement ... this is not about vegan fascism or climate change. i pray that people start to learn about what the IMF and the World Bank are. i pray that we start to impact our foreign trade policies in ways that are loving and humane for all people around the globe and not just specific americans. i told you - it's a prayer ..........

you can start educating yourself in many ways:

1) google SLOW FOODS movement or LOCAL FOODS
2) buy foods at a farmer's market (it's local)
3) read omnivore's dilemna
