"Pity this old man Oh My Lord for neither he knows what he speaks nor he knows that soon he has to swallow back those !" Its high time that Mr.Bush has to retire (better!) or go back to school. Really i can't point to one school but probably i have some suggestions! He might need to attend business school to know how to manage his mean resources, he might need to study politics for he doesn't know how to run his government together with the rest of the world, he might need to study statistics for he doesn't know either to collect reliable data set or to interpret the correlations, he might need to attend some history and geography classes to know the boundaries of so called USA and to know something about the rest of the world and their history, in all he has to rush to his kindergarten before they close down due to recession!!!
Ironically my last post tried to bring to light the continued misjudgement of the administrators and wagging of their tongues irresponsibly. The world has been watching how Mr.Bush and his colleagues has been acting as clowns and making fun of themselves. The latest statements from Mr.Bush and Ms.Rice is at the top of all the recent jokes from the West! The jokers together claim that India was partly responsible for rising global food prices! India's prosperous middle classes, their food consumption habits, feeding pets, and what not they were heard quoting at. My question to them is, how much an average American weighs and an average Indian weighs? How much do an average individual in the US consume daily against an average Indian?
Total food grain consumption — wheat, rice, and all coarse grains like rye, barley etc — by each person in the US is over five times that of an Indian, according to figures released by the US Department of Agriculture for 2007.
Each Indian gets to eat about 178 kg of grain in a year, while a US citizen consumes 1,046 kg. In per capita terms, US grain consumption is twice that of the European Union and thrice that of China. Grain consumption includes flour and by conversion to alcohol.
In fact, per capita grain consumption has increased in the US — so actually the Americans are eating more. In 2003, US per capita grain consumption was 946 kg per year which increased to 1046 kg last year. By way of comparison, India’s per capita grain consumption has remained static over the same period.
It’s not just grains. Milk consumption, in fluid form, is 78 kg per year for each person in the US, compared to 36 kg in India and 11 kg in China.
Vegetable oils consumption per person is 41 kg per year in US, while Indians are making do with just 11 kg per year. These are figures for liquid milk, not for cheese, butter, yogurt and milk powders which are consumed in huge proportion in the more advanced countries.
A significant proportion of India’s population is vegetarian, and so, this is all the food that they get, apart from vegetables and pulses. But the source of carbohydrates and fats is mainly derived from food grains and oils.
As far as meat consumption is concerned, the US leads the world in per capita consumption by a wide margin. Beef consumption, for example, is 42.6 kg per person per year, compared to a mere 1.6 kg in India and 5.9 kg in China. In case you are thinking that perhaps Indians might be going in for chicken, think again. In the US, 45.4 kg poultry meat is consumed every year by each person, compared to just 1.9 kg in India. Pork consumption is negligible in India, while it is a major item elsewhere. In the European Union, 42.6 kg pork is consumed per person every year, while in the US, 29.7 kgs are consumed. Pork is a staple for Chinese, and so over 35 kg are consumed per person per year.
And, we are not talking about various other types of meat, like turkey. All these comparisons are for powerful economies, whether of the west or the east.
But the story would not be complete without mentioning the plight of Africa, where food grain consumption in 2007 was a mere 162 kg per year for each person, or about 445 grams per day. Don’t forget they are not getting any meat or milk products out there.
Perhaps, it is time to include the lifestyle choices of the West in the whole feverish debate on how to tackle the global food crisis. These figures are collated by the US Department of Agriculture. US per capita grain consumption rose from 946 kg in 2003 to 1046 kg last year. India’s per capita consumption remained static in this period. They spend so much money to spy on the rest and create trouble elsewhere. Why not they spend the money usefully to help their own citizens? Funny that they don't want to accept the fact that US is facing a severe recession and that India and China are fast growing. Warren Buffet, the world's richest person, said on Sunday that the US economy is in recession, putting him at odds with a government report that showed weak growth! Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said the US has slipped into an "awfully pale recession" and may continue to languish for the rest of the year.
Housing remains a critical problem. US home owners find their mortgage payments heading higher, or that their homes are worth less than they owe. The government could help borrowers who were misled on what they would owe. Its gonna cost you big bucks but definitely less than spend on ruthless attacks on civilians in Iraq and elsewhere!
Enough is Enough, humblest request to the administrators of US "We used to enjoy science fictions and toy stories from the West, it doesn't mean that we are still kids and you can smoke anything at anytime. We are ready to extend the support provided you don't make comedies overnight and make fool of yourself"
Wait Mr. Bush, did you forget to make this statement, "Developing nations like India and china are solely responsible for global warming related problems" ..... As such we are dying for another comedy flick from your administration.
