A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question
asked was:"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the
food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure...
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant

That is so true. Unfortunately it's our differences that often stop us from helping each other

We, ( the world ) have the resources to feed the
people of the world, the problem is the true desire
does not exist. Instead of always wondering about
the $$$$ it would take to feed humans
it should just be done period !! Without second thought,
you just do it no matter what, forget the idea of $$$,
As long as the world wants compensation for its
deeds then all matters of care for the people of the needy
world are false, a political fling to impress the media,
what the world needs is desire to help the needy, not ideas
with needing financial backing !! It all should be accomplished
for free, for the will to do so. How much farm land sits
idle with the government paying a farmer not to grow !!??!!
The world could help itself, but because of compensation
for its will & desires it can never be a real reality .......

Anna that is an astute observation. Did you make it up?
Lets try to dwell upon the positive so as not to get sucked into the hole of negativity. At least they answered. At least the UN has some direction adressing poverty. Maybe the UN should give a lesson on paradigm shifting.

Is this a joke? It's kind of humorous. I don't think the rest of the world should be a concern of the US. Sorry.

That is awesome. But all too true. Fact is, that statement described the state of the world perfectly. Sad, isn't it?
