...Keys to Common Wealth In "Common Wealth," Jeffrey D. Sachs stated that the Millennium Development Goals are to cut extreme poverty, hunger and disease by 2015 [March 24]. Cutting poverty and hunger means more people consuming. Cutting disease means more people. Working toward these goals is meaningless as long as we do not reduce world population. People need to have fewer babies. Anything else produces an endless fight with no chance of winning. Rodger Skidmore, SARASOTA...
...Needed: Fuel for Humans Having read "A Furious Hunger," I sadly experienced déjà vu [March 17]. As a food technologist, I daily receive disquieting information on availability and rising prices. Several companies I deal with are becoming desperate as stocks of flax and corn, to name but two examples, are virtually extinct. You were certainly correct to cite biofuels and bad harvests as the key reasons for this scarcity. Several of our suppliers readily admit they have sold their stocks of sugar, corn and rapeseed to biofuel manufacturers simply because they can make a lot more money...
...Crimson (8-5) went 2-2, the team learned that it can control its own fate: the energy issue is only an energy problem when Harvard doesn’t have enough.“The theme on this trip is that the team with the most energy and hunger wins, no matter what the score, no matter who the opponent,” assistant coach Andrew Rueb ’95 said. “We’ve got to make sure we’re the ones bringing the fire.”The trip?...
...those tourists might be shocked to learn a fact unlikely to mentioned by their tour guides: The scarlet ibis can often be found in less majestic circumstances - stewed in a curry and served up on a plate. And thanks to rampant poaching to satisfy the unsavory hunger for the bird that shares the country's national crest with the cocrico, claimed as Tobago's bird, conservationists fear that the ibis will forsake Trinidad. "We'd hunt them in the early morning," says Seth, a 21-year-old swamp tour guide and reformed poacher who asked that his real name...
...replaced. Diversions raise food prices, so the poor will eat less. That's the reason a U.N. food expert recently called agrofuels a "crime against humanity." Lester Brown of the Earth Policy Institute says that biofuels pit the 800 million people with cars against the 800 million people with hunger problems. Four years ago, two University of Minnesota researchers predicted the ranks of the hungry would drop to 625 million by 2025; last year, after adjusting for the inflationary effects of biofuels, they increased their prediction to 1.2 billion...
