#2 ION TOPIX > a GLOBAL WARMING-INDUCED/EFFECTED FAMINE also looms for the PHILIPPINES by 2020, as per Perts. Also > LARGE PARTS OF SOUTH, EAST ASIA including AUSTRALIA.

Interesting - considering vari claims and Net artics on GLOBAL COOLING = ICE AGE/MINI-ICE AGE > ergo COLD FOGGY SLEETY REGIONAL-GLOBAL WEATHER ergo COLD WEATHER ergo TOO COLD TO GROW TROPICAL -GROWING NORMAL FOODSTUFFIES.

#3 This makes me very angry. South Korea is complaining, and justifiably so, about the fact that their people are beginning to have an obesity problem. There has never been a more stark contrast between the bounty produced by capitalism and the starvation produced by communism. I'm sure there's a very special spot in Hell reserved for the Great Leader and the Dear Leader, and I'd bet it's manned by more than a few of their former subjects...

#5 Ask me if I care. Nothing obligates me to feed a people that hold me and my family under nuclear blackmail. Want food? Eat your overfed leaders.

#8 "They still have people in North Korea to starve?"

Interesting concept. Women of North Korea decide to boycott sex in order to end famine and oppression.

#13 On a slightly related theme, I recall reading that after WW2, japan's population jumped in height, an direct effect of more plentiful food,(And higher quality too) averaging 6 to 9 inches increase in only two generations.

#14 TOPIX > IMF: FOOD CRISES CAN TOPPLE WORLD GOVERNMENTS + PHILIPPINES:NO FOOD SHORTAGES + PRESIDENT ARROYO'S JOB AT STAKE + PHILIPPINES TO CONTINUE TO IMPORT RICE DESPITE REDUCED PRICE + UN FAO MAY HEP ASSURE FOOD SUPPLY.

MCDONALD's > Looks like MANILA GOVT has told or requested local Mickey D's to cut back on RICE PORTIONS [e.g. BRKFAST/SPAM PLATTERS].

ALso from TOPIX > PHILIPPINES POPULATION AT 89 Milyuhn.

ME > OLD DREAM/VISION > ASIA-PACIFIC "EARTH CHANGES" + DIASPORAS > iff vari "Food Crises/Famine" reports are correct, THE PI + ASIA ESPEC THE PHILIPINES MAY FACE THE EQUIVALENT OF THE CATASROPHIC IRISH POTATO FAMINE EXCEPT WID LOSS OF MANY MILLIONS MORE THAN IRELAND.

The time to preclude NATIONAL-REGIONAL-TRANSREGIO FAMINE + FOOD CHAOS IS NOW, NOT 2015 OR 2020.

* I ask US-World Astron-Sciens Perts again > IS THE SUN OKAY?
