U.S. Governments Announces Cut In Foreign Food Aid To Third World--Can't Afford Present System

As the price of food and other commodities soar, foreign aid from the U.S.,
the world's most
generous contributor, has been forced to cut back. The price of corn and
wheat has soared
because of increased world demand and consumption and shortages caused by
the diversion
of much agricultural production to biofuels to produce methanol. It is
believed that
burning methanol instead of fossil fuels will reduce greenhouse gases.

Where the money would be better spend in the Third World, especially in
Africa and Muslim
countries, is in birth control. Too many babies are being born in these
poverty-stricken areas
and the world is now dangerously overpopulated. The world population should
be reduced
by about 4 billion people and then the problem of green house gases would
disappear.
