I’m just saying, I read the paper, this stuff is interesting to me. I’m not trying to be the bearer of bad news, but these are some of the problems of the world today. People can’t afford rice in Asia. How did that happen???
We grow food to fuel cars and feed animals while people starve. Shit is twisted.
Expect to pay more and get less.
FOOOOOOD FIGHTTTTT !!!!!!!!

We’re all going to die together at the same time.
Two men are pursuing a lawsuit to stop scientists from using a giant particle accelerator, saying it could create a black hole that might eat up the Earth.

CAPTURED
Since 1979 Clayton Patterson has dedicated his life to documenting the
final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City’s Lower
East Side, a neighborhood famed for art, music and revolutionary
minds. Traversing the outside edge he’s recorded a dark and colorful
society, from drag to hardcore, heroin, homelessness, political chaos
and ultimately gentrification. His odyssey from voyeur to provocateur
reveals that it can take losing everything you love to find your own
significance.

Interesting documentary about food, farming, and feeding the world. Many of today’s consumers are out of touch with how things are made and or grown and the prices paid to keep up with demand. This film sheds light on the food industry and illustrates the many social, economic, and environmental problems the world has with food and feeding the ever growing population.
For instance, they clear and burn the Brasilian rain forests to grow soybeans (not a native plant and requires the importation of all nutrients) to feed cattle in Europe. Meanwhile a quarter of the people in Brasil are starving.
Check it out on: The Sundance Channel
Documentary filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer investigates the food that graces middle-class dining tables around the world and delivers an eye-opening cinematic essay about scarcity, plenty, globalization and waste. From struggling fishermen and long-distance truckers to agronomists and multinational corporate executives, We Feed the World presents a sobering portrait of the people who define the contemporary food industry, where the constant pursuit of profit takes precedence over preserving livelihoods or sustaining natural resources.

This shit is crazy!
A 22 story crane collapsed, hit a 19 story building across the street; a piece of the crane broke off, fell over the back side of the building, smashed into, and leveled a 4 story townhouse a block away. 7 people were killed.
Watch your step kid.
