FOOD CRISIS

Currently there is a food crisis going on in the world do to the rising cost of food. Although in the US where the average person spends only 10% of there income on food is not affected as much as countries like Haiti where there are riots because people are not able to eat enough food.

I was asked the question that if I lived in Haiti would resort to violence to get food. I think that I would. Normally I am not a violent person and I truly believe that violence is not the best answer but sometimes it is the only answer. In Egypt for example there was a peaceful mach and the police used hoses and other things to control the crowd and that was peaceful march.

So when something that really does make the difference between life and death is at stake. Maybe violence is the only answer.
