United Nations Survey

I was thinking in what relation is 'the rest of the world' compared to? It could be the USA, but not everyone in the USA can afford to the luxury of food. Yes, I do think that food has become a luxury nowadays. I'm not referring to caviar or truffles but to simple but good quality foodstuffs that should be staple in everyone's diet. Before we can just grow anything we want in our backyards, from fruits and vegetables to meat products, but how can someone wish to grow a patch of potatoes when he himself doesn't have a patch of land to his name? I am not going to tell anyone that it's the rich man's fault that he's rich and others are poor, but that instead of continental boundaries, we may also consider economic boundaries as a point of reference for defining 'otherness' or what the 'rest of the world' is separated to. That maybe the shortage of food is not (just) the United Nation's problem but the world corporations who control the production, distribution and cost of food.

I agree with you that this may be the case. But you have forgotten the Indians , if you come to Indians and ask the same question. They would probably look at sky first. When you will ask the question once again then they will nod their head and when finally you will be frustrated and ask the same question forcefully than would say something like this in hindi , " mujhe english nahi aati hein , hindi mein bolo. " I don't know english can you please speak in regional language. Yes, I can say so as I'm an Indian and education quality is not good in India.
