If we were truly serious and grown up about tackling "global food poverty" that's what we would do. We in the West don't have to feel guilty about everything that is wrong in the world. We talk about only using land for food crops not for fuel but this is just tinkering around the edges. There is twice as many people living at present than in 1960. If we keep reproducing at this rate the earth's ability to sustain us will be exceded. It will happen there is no question. It's just too convenient for politicians to peddle the global warming myth and use it as an excuse for overcharging us for fuel and ignore the big environmental picture.
