What we can do about skyrocketing food prices

We in the U.K. can do our share to counter skyrocketing grain prices by cutting grain consumption ourselves.
By cutting our intake of rice, wheat and corn in the developed world, we can leave more for those who really need it. We can drop rice, bread and corn products and eat potatoes, yams vegetables and fruits instead.
And while we cut out grains, we can also work to cut out the main cause of hunger in our world-capitalism, and replace it with economic democracy.

Grain ? - surely meat and dairy !
12.04.2008 18:02
Surely, the Number 1 thing we can do is to cut out meat and dairy products rather than grain.
The Meat and Dairy industry produce more greenhouse gasses than the entire transport sector - a vegan in a V8 Range Rover is doing less harm to the planet than a meat eater on a bicycle.
it takes 16 kg of veg protein to make 1 kg of meat protein - cut out meat and dairy - save millions in taxpayers subsidies for these products, save billions in taxes for the NHS which are used to treat the heart disease and cancer caused by this products and then HAVE NO GLOBAL FOOD SHORTAGE, because soya and grains can be used to feed humans instead of farm animals.
(plus eat with a clear conscience)
