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:
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
