Today is World Food Day in case you didn’t know it. This is a FAO-organized event held every year. I applaud their desire to bring attention to the plight of the hungry around the world.

However, they’ve been taken over by a bunch of wackos who are employing extreme scare tactics to advance an agenda that is seriously out of kilter with reality. So, I mainly just ignore the FAO these days. That’s too bad but I think we’re seeing a lot of these tactics and types of people everywhere these days. You can probably figure out who they are as well as I can.

So, on World Food Day, right after Blog Action Day, which had a theme of poverty, let’s do what we can to help those less fortunate than us. But let’s do it with common sense and make decisions based on science and not sensational emotionalism.

Cindy is attending the World Food Prize Norman Borlaug Symposium where I’m sure she’s interacting with people who do bring a much more credible voice to the challenges and solutions to the issue of world hunger.
