What really struck me these days are the various events that have been occuring throughout the globe……for instance the catastrophic & disastrous cyclone in Myanmar
..over 20,000 people dead, with more than 40,000 more missing. Besides the loss of lives, Myanmar
was also (in one day) transformed from being a major exporter of rice to a net importer of rice. The paddy fields were simply flooded and destroyed in a blink of the eye. Then comes the HFMD outbreak that has been affecting a couple of countries..then the comes the giant sinkhole in Texas
which has been ‘gobbling’ houses, electricity post etc.. when you sum up all these events, it makes you stop and ponder for a moment. With the erratic weather and global environmental problems, are we actually heading for a global food crisis? Sounds scary but everyone should think about it. With global food supplies outstripped by the exuberant demand, how long can the world population sustain..
p/s: food glorious food..no more.
