US Fights to Keep Millions Starving!
I heard on Counterspin on the way home that at the world summit on hunger held recently in Rome (which, of course, got very little news time here in the US), the US delgates seem to have as their main agenda to make sure that there was no wording that food was a basic human right. Other delegates were quoted as saying that the US team were the worst example of political arm-twisting they had seen in their careers. It's good to know that our government is working hard to protect this world for the WTO. (The main cause of hunger in the world is poverty, something that Free Trade would encourage in third world countries to mantain a cheap workforce.)
