G8 Summit Irony: Discussing Global Food Crisis with 18 Course Banquet

British Prime Minister suggested his country mates that stopping wastage of food would be one of the better ways to combat current global food crisis. Mr. Brown made these comments after going through a Government report which concluded that 4.1 million tonnes of food was being wasted by householders. He suggested that Britons can save up to £8 a week if they embrace prudence and thrift in kitchens. Its necessary to reduce “unnecessary demand” for food, he further added. But just after two days of his urging he sat down with leaders (and of course their wives) of leading industrialized nations to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at a G8 summit in Japan.

But the extravagance of the menus drew disapproval from many critics who thought it hypocritical to produce such a lavish meal when world food supplies are under threat. Dominic Nutt (Save the Children charity) did not like the idea. “It is deeply hypocritical that they should be lavishing course after course on world leaders when there is a food crisis and millions cannot afford a decent meal,” he said.

In 2005, at the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, world leaders promised to increase global aid by £25billion a year by 2010 and raise aid to Africa, the world's poorest continent, by £12.5billion. But the bloc of rich nations is only 14 per cent of the way towards hitting its target.

And the world’s poor have no other option but to look for these leaders to stand by their pledges of three years ago at Gleneagles.

Anniversary

You Know What? I missed my Blog’s Anniversary. I should have posted this on the Anniversary day, anyways lets move on.

It was on 27th June last year around 5:00 Pm in the afternoon, after returning from DAK I rushed to Library, gave a Bizarre URL for my Blog home, named it Liberty and came up with first post “Beginning”. I always liked the idea of Liberty as I have always believed in Responsible Freedom. I am happy that I maintained this habit of Blogging, but more than that rediscovered my interest of writing.

There were total 37 posts in Liberty, I wrote 33 of them. Almost three in a month, not bad I suppose. It would be nice if I can increase the number this year, but I am little concerned about the quantity. This year too I will strive towards improving the quality of my posts; try to be more diverse and interesting at the same time.

Thank you to all visitors of Liberty for stopping by, reading and leaving comments. I must say your comments along with my own resolution are fuel for liberty; they are most important impetus that will keep Liberty moving and improving.

Liberty Featured Number "119"

119 is this week’s featured number.

According to the first 'World Map of Happiness', Nepal is the 119th happiest place in the world. The map is prepared by Adrian White, a British analytic social psychologist from University of Leicester and it rates 178 countries. The study considered three parameters Health, Wealth and Access to Education as major sources of happiness. Denmark comes out as the Happiest Place while Burundi came out as Unhappiest. Our neighbors China (82), SriLanka (93) and Bangladesh (104) are considered happier place than Nepal whereas India (125) and Pakistan (166) are less happy.

It is up to the readers to buy this or not but that’s what the report says.

Yes, 119th happiest nation on earth is Nepal and 119 is this week’s number. Hope we will rank higher as we reach political stability and move away from domestic violence but for today I will leave you with 119.
