Tomorrow is World Food Day and since I can't invite you all over
for dinner, I thought I'd serve up a smorgasbord of facts and figures about the
way the US
and the world eat or don't eat, as the case may be.
The menu isn't all bad, but I'll warn you that too much of
it could lead to mental and emotional indigestion. The good news is that if you live in the
developed world and you don't like what you're served, another option is only a
few steps away or, in the case of online food-for-thought, mouse-clicks away. That said, I'd urge you to finish your plate
and consider sharing a bite with others.
If I sound like a parent, it's because I am which is one of
the reasons I feel compelled to mix these eclectic issues together in one big
pot. If we can all start seeing the
connections between food, health, and the environment and teaching our children
to do the same, perhaps we can serve up a more palatable offering of food statistics
in their lifetime.
So, let's dig in:
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
