Diet during Ramadan

Diet during Ramadan?  Maybe it's the hunger, but lately I see stories all about food shortages.  Muslims world wide are fasting, however the world is starving not by choice.  Ramadan was designed to show Muslims how the less fortunate live and to point out the blessings we have.  
Amidst this background there are globally stories which highlight absurdity and hope.
Al Shabab refuses aid to the poor and the starving. They refuse NGO's and they blame infidels.  They are the satans in the world.  Allah would not allow food to his children?  REALLY! 
They banned the sale of samosas because they aren't Muslim.  Is there any wonder the country is hell? These people make execution an acceptable option even for pacifists. 
However the aid is now going to the heart of Somalia.  It could be the opening of the door.  
Quick other interesting food news:
-Israel had protests this week about cost of living.  Amazing to see even in Israel, food has become more important than the hate of Palestinians.  This week it was lower price for cottage cheese. 
-New study finds healthy diet and exercise do not guarantee long life.  It may be more related to your genetics.  Pass the donut baby!!!!

WTF is wrong with WFP

I just like the look of the abbreviation WFP. Because it makes you think of WTF. Once you look into the operation of WFP you end up always saying WTF.
It has a 5 billion dollar budget. It says its spends the money wisely but everyone knows if a program is associated with the UN it's not wise. Its corrupt. WFP has press officers in Rome and all other places. It pays people to keep its image.
Its too long and depressing to look into details of its management mistakes, however lets just say it has never done what it says.
WFP stands for World Food Programme. The programme to feed the hungry. However is most third world and even some western countries WFP stands for ATM. Money for the few. For most of the hungry and all of those the WFP is suppose to feed, WFP stand for WHAT THE FUCK?

Food Inc.

Everyone should see Food Inc. This movie will change the way we look at food. In the western world corporations have hijacked the industry. We are one mistake away from catastrophe. Since all of our food is concentrated in few producers, we are putting our lives in the hands of the few. The other point of the movie is how unsafe our food is.
Can this be progress?
