Chris Cantell Discusses World News: Koho chyba je “tiche tsunami”?! by Lenka Lehenova

Nas svet je dnes na vrchole inovacii. Technologia je kazdym dnom dokonalejsia, ludske tuzby a sny su splene a vdaka tomu sa citime stale viac a viac pohodlnejsie. Vyzera to, ze vsetko je v poriadku, avsak v skutocnosti nas svet musi bojovat s roznymi problemami a tak ako sa zvysuje mnozstvo nasich uspokojenych priani, tak sa zvysuje aj mnozstvo problemov. Globalne oteplovanie, nasilie, zbrane, chudoba...to je len zopar hrozieb sveta, ktore by mohli byt pricinou ludskeho konca.Nedostatok jedla, ktory by mohol zapricinit prvu globalnu potravinovu krizu od Druhej svetovej vojny, je jednym z najvacsich problemov. Afrika je miesto, kde kazdu minutu chudoba a hlad zabija obyvatelov, najma deti. Nie je to len Afrika, ale v sucasnosti, je mnozstvo krajin, kde ludia trpia hladom a tato situacia je globalnym problemom. Mohlo by to znamenat koniec jedlom preplnenych supermarketov a lacne ceny. Ak nenajdeme nejake riesenia, hlad moze prist aj do tvojej krajiny, do tvojho mesta a prave tvoja rodina tym bude trpiet.V utorok na Londynskom summite krizy, uradujuci riaditel svetoveho potravinoveho programu (the World Food Program), Josette Sheeran, povedal ze je to ako “tiche tsunami” hladomoru zmetajuce svetovo tie najzufalejsie narody. Faktom je, ze existuje vela faktorov, ktore sa navzajom ovplyvnuju a zavisia jeden na druhom. Nedostatok jedla zapricinil prudko rastuce ceny potravin. Dovodom su napriklad prudko rastuce naklady na potraviny, rast ceny pohonnych latok ci nepredvidatelne pocasie a je ich este viac. Len si predstav, ze cena ryze sa za poslednych pat rokov zdvojnasobila alebo ak si v restauracii objednas jedlo, dostanes zcvrkavajucu sa porciu, ktora je dvakrat taka draha. Hoci je nas svet precpany tou najlepsou technologiu a inovaciami, “tiche tsunami” hladomoru je stale blizsie a blizsie. Toto obdobie by mohlo byt tym najhorsim v nasom zivote. Musime zredukovat pocet jedal denne a za jedlo musime platit viac. A zdrave jedlo? Oh, co to len je? Ano, to nam postupne krok za krokom mizne a ak aj najdes nejaky produkt “bio”, jeho cena je fakt vysoka. Mozno by sme sa mali zamysliet koho to je vina...ludi?!
