Wake up you hypocrites...
by the critic on Dec 17, 2008 11:22 AM

Terrorists kill 180 and injured 290 in 4 days...There are these ignorant youths being fooled by media and others...see I've something better. On an average 1 accident per minute in India and 290 deaths per day. 130,000 deaths in India due to road accidents in 2007 alone. Out of which 40% due to drunk driving. More...In India smoking caused about 700,000 deaths in the year 2000, mostly among middle-aged men (35-69). Annual tobacco deaths in middle age in India are projected to reach 1 million by 2025. Even more...This year alone, twenty million people worldwide will die of malnutrition. One child dies of malnutrition every 2.3 seconds. One hundred million people could be adequately fed using the land freed if Americans reduced their intake of meat by a mere 10%. Eighty percent of the corn and 95% of the oats grown in the US is eaten by livestock. The percentage of protein wasted by cycling grain through livestock is calculated by experts as 90%. One acre of good farmland can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, or 250 pounds of beef. Fifty-six percent of all US farmland is devoted to beef production, and to produce each pound of beef requires 16 pounds of edible grain and soybeans, which could be used to feed the hungry.
