Elfin Bee's night night thoughts

our hunger prangs and the world’s hungry January 4, 2009

I often sleep late and often feel hungry after the last meal.  So I often sneak to the kitchen fridge to look for numbles… one night under the midnight moon, after following up the day’s woes of world news, I was wondering:

what happens if the world were to finally crash – banks and governments would crash on us all flat despite the advanced system that we have and despite the brains that we have to save the crisis ? We would be in an eventual and prolonged state of hunger..

so how to solve our individual  hunger ?

– you fill your tummy up whatever you have
– you work until you forget about hunger
– you eat less to train yourself to get full with just that little
– you use techniques from biotechnologies to create hybrids of crops

– you create your own domestic farm and grow your own crops your own way at your residence

– if you don’t know any techniques at all, at worst you may be tempted to eat any living beings within your sight..

 but how would you solve hunger in the world and hunger at home or hunger prangs that you have for good  ?

One way would to change our diets. Perhaps  away from meats  and go for insects , worms and wild plants ? Or cut down waste in the first place and go for anything that you could grow and learn to share ?

As we talk, there are at least some half a billion people in the world alone who are in absolute hunger.   Not to mention about those who are neither very well off or very hungry. In the coming months, there will be more people who are out of jobs globally and few countries have the immunity to get away from the current financial turmoil. It teaches us all a lesson. But whether we all learnt that is anybody’s guess.

When I thought about these issues, I was no longer hungry anymore. 

Perhaps its high time to think of standbys instead of waiting for solutions by others.
