Eating a 100×100 burger doesn’t make me a bad person. It’s called fun – you should try having some sometime, instead of scouring the net for blogs about Indians that are “contributing” to the vast problems of India. If you care so much about the hunger problem in India, then do something about it.

Think about ways we can better educate the masses on population control. That is the root of all of our problems. Is education even going to work or do we need some enforced population control the way China did it? I’m not sure it’s possible to educate the people fast enough at this point. Hopefully the rapid growth of the middle-class will help somewhat here, but I still feel though as it will not be enough.

But I suppose thinking on these terms is too overwhelming for you, so instead you go around bashing people for no reason at all.

Good work bro – you are a true patriot and a courageous citizen that is definitely doing your part to help out.

In my school in India, we had madatory lunch served there. Everything in your plate HAD to be finished, and whatever extra food was available, you were encouraged to eat, so that it didn’t go to waste.

Hell, we had food eating competitions back then, too, in my school in India. I once ate 28 slices of buttered bread. And it wasn’t some US influenced fast food pig fest. People eat everywhere food is available. Quality of food ingested is a different subject, but all western nations have healthy diets. The United States should be thanked actually, it was the one that revolutionized how food is created (resilient strains of grain) managed, and distributed.

The economist has a nice article on the story of wheat.
