Food & Wars                    by Rima Sayegh Janho

 

Each year the FAO celebrates the world food day; during this event, official voices invade the televised media, globalised news networks and newspapers all over the world. All that is heard is whining & weeping as if focusing on poverty & hunger –for just one day- has become a form of quixotic heroism.
A circus? An act? Whom they are bluffing?
Would their words feed the poor hungry people?
Could their scientists & intellectuals save the world from hunger through speeches? 

Why millions of people in the 3rd world are starving? They implicate it to drought and sometimes to poverty and to small wars.
How outsized these wars have become? They are infecting countries & several areas with a rate of infection that swift the rate of any vicious virus or disease.
Nobody knows why these wars occur. If somebody knows why, he won't be able to speak up and won't find a media method to reveal his opinions & beliefs.
Phantom-gods- manipulated robotics handle the wars…
 

They say that some countries suffer from malnutrition although they have rich lands … then they murmur: if it isn’t for those wars
After World War II the world was freaking of world war III- God forbid- but no one thought that it already started as bits & pieces; it is divided into small wars that have been called civil wars, religious, or maybe regional wars.
It is far more natural that the 3rd world countries had the lion's share of these wars especially land rich countries
What this has to do with "health & nutrition"? Can we accomplish anything?  Maybe not …
Food if found is nutritious no matter what is its kind. If food and nutrients are scarce, people would suffer from malnutrition but if it is overindulged it is over
nutrition.
We at our tiny journal try to help in preventing malnutrition by praying to God to protect & help these poor countries to overcome the problems due to irrational wars. No one know the reasons except the phantom gods who remotely control the robots of these wars
