How hunger can Hijack Planet Earth

The most significant item of news in recent times is not India's Being trounced by Bangladesh in a totally non-important game of cricket.
Nor is it the escalating violence in Iraq, or the Iran missile crisis that is as scary as this headline:
Bees dying by the thousands in Florida.
Florida is orange country.
Bees are vital for pollination.
to turn orange blossoms into the sun-kissed oranges that are so essential for orange juice and the fruit processing industry.
Now, bees are dying...
Imagine, a world without bees.
Without fruit.
Without grain.
Without fruit processing.
Without agriculture....
Hunger is more scary than any nuclear arms race.
But still, dying bees are less important than a Worl Cup cricket match.
Talk about priorities!
