Q&@
HAS OCCURRED
IN NUMEROUS OTHER COUNTRIES, MOST NOTABLY CHINA?
For millennia, famine stalked every Chinese regime from the Yellow Emperor to the Red communists!
A few decades ago China was a byword for food shortages. Tens of millions of Chinese starved to death
during the disastrous Great Leap Forward, and experts routinely predicted that the problem would only get
worse. In 1974 the first World Food Conference was convened in Rome, and delegates were treated to apo-
calyptic scenarios! They were told that there was no way for China to feed its billion people, and that the
world's most populous country was heading towards catastrophe? In fact, it was heading towards the greatest
economic miracle in history. Since 1974 hundreds of millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty, and
though hundreds of millions more still suffer greatly from privation and malnutrition, for the first time in its
recorded history China is now free from famine. Indeed, in most countries today overeating hàs become a far
worse problem thàn famine. In the 18th century Marie Antoinette allegedly advised the starving masses that
if they ran out of bread, they should just eat cake instead. Today, the poor áre following this advice to the letter.
Whereas the überrich residents of Beverly Hills eat lettuce salad and steamed tofu with quinoa, in the slums
& ghettos the poor gorge on Twinkie cakes, Cheetos, hamburgers, frankfurters, berliners & pizza. In 2014
more than 2.1 billion people were overweight, compared to 850 million who suffered from malnutrition.
Half of humankind ìs expected to be overweight by 2030. In 2010
famine & malnutrition combined killed
about 1 million people,
whereas obesity
killed three
million.
