U.S. Votes to Tolerate 6 Million Kids Dying from Starvation

Tweet Guess this article explains why the NYTimes has to have an editorial advocating more food stamps. You won't get them without asking from a government that does stuff like this! (See link to whole article here: http://justworldnews.org/archives/003274.html)

So at the end of November, just as most Americans were preparing the gargantuan feasts they have every year on "Thanksgiving", the US representative in the UN's Third Committee was the only representative there to vote against a resolution on the "Right to Food" under which the UN General Assembly,

would “consider it intolerable” that more than 6 million children still died every year from hunger-related illness before their fifth birthday, and that the number of undernourished people had grown to about 923 million worldwide, at the same time that the planet could produce enough food to feed 12 billion people, or twice the world’s present population.

The vote on that resolution was 180 to 1. Only the US voted against it. (HT: B of Moon of Alabama.)

As a US citizen, I consider that vote a disgrace.
