Feed the Poor

Europeans don't do stupid things so very often, but the great milk spill last week was stupid. And shameful. And mean.

I sympathise with the farmers who are being squeezed out of existence by corporate "farmers." But the proper protest is NOT to dump milk.

The milk--thousands and thousands of liters or gallons or tons or tonnes of it--were dumped. Why couldn't all that milk have been sent to starving children in Africa? Why couldn't countries that have big airplanes have flown milk to Africa?

That would have been a much more effective and efficacious protest.

We need to try thinking every now and then. Even an occasional thought would make this a better world.
