brown poor people are hungry and will starve to death doesn't have the ring it used to

Food prices may hit world growth and security, says UN chief
ACCRA - Higher food prices risk wiping out progress towards reducing poverty and, if allowed to escalate, could hurt global growth and security, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said overnight. Opening a UN trade and development conference in Ghana, Ban pledged to use the full force of the world body he heads to tackle the price rises, which threaten to increase hunger and poverty and have already sparked food riots in Asia and Africa. "I will immediately establish a high-powered task force comprised of eminent experts and leading authorities to address this issue," he said.

Don't you love how Ban Ki-moon has to attach this to some other issue like world growth or 'security' before anyone will take notice, cause poor non-white folk starving to death isn't enough of a big deal to demand immediate changes. Climate change will only make these matters worse as erratic weather patterns start disrupting the agriculture in each country, if a future proofed solution is not found quickly enough, Ban Ki-moon will have his worst fears to deal with.
