It's a sad fact that a HUGE (pardon the pun) percentage of the worlds population is ungodly obese while an equally staggering number of people continue to go hungry. And I'm not just talking fat. I'm talking Marlon Brando in a fat suit fat. Fat Bastard fat. Precious fat.
But where is the answer? Moderation? Hilarious. "Maybe I'll get a diet coke with my three Big Mac meals."
Maybe the other way with depriving North Americans of their favorite pastime to feed the needy? Nay Nay. I say let them eat cake and trans fats and deep fried bananas and wait until they are too weak from digestive exhaustion to fight back, throw their tubby asses onto an airplane and drop them like leaflets to all the hungry people with barbecue sauce and a dash of basil.
"Really?!" You must be saying by now. "Waste good basil?! Is it really necessary to resort to cannibalism?" And the answer? Probably. Because the brass tacks of the situation is that the oceans will be unable to sustain life in a matter of years. Rain forests and wildlife are disappearing faster than people who snitched on Rupert Murdoch and until people can master the art of opening a condom wrapper the demand is only going to get higher.
But Instead of abandoning fossil fuels and power plants of mass destruction for the energy that the big glowing bastard in the sky creates and just all together smartening up we'd rather watch music videos and shitty movie remakes and Brangolina adopt a single starving child in a country of starving children. That's like letting a single ant live than pissing on the anthill to put out the fire that you started.
Instead of fixing the easily fixable problems, people are too focused on the important issues like copyright infringement, miracle hair growth products and keeping America in the black long enough to keep dropping bombs. But I suppose they've got things under control, after all it's hard to be hungry when you're too busy trying to find your legs.
Let's follow the chain of stupidity shall we? The general population cries to feed the hungry. They turn to their governments. The same governments who's endless search for world domination leaves entire countries homeless and hungry. World domination meaning they tell the people of the world what to accept and how to make their lives "normal". The people voted for these governments and refuse to reexamine the global situation thus choosing to contribute to the suffering of millions and adding to the mentality that the world is something to be conquered. So I ask you. Who's fault is it for the continues deaths of entire populations? The greedy governments for choosing to pursue the 'All American Dream' of a single world flag? Or the people for continuing to put these people in power and refusing to put their foot down about what really matters in the world.
So the next time a COUNTRY goes starving, I don't want to see any commercials payed for by the rich staring even richer celebrities asking the poor to feed the slightly more poor. No. Instead I should see public advisories and posters littering streets to change in a definitive way, our government and all the things that they 'stand for'. Because unless we pull our heads out of our collective asses, we may as well grow another set of canines and acquire a taste for uncle Bob. After all once all of those hungry kids and poor countries cease to exist and America goes bankrupt and becomes another starving third world country, who do you think will be ponying the bill to feed us.
