Keeping on feeding develops dependency.People of the Nation must get rid of self seeking corrupt leaders and usher in new government.Though difficult and time consuming,it is the only way from the morass they have sunk into.
Story:
As well as being demeaning to our dignity, my education has taught me that constantly shipping food is costly, uneconomic, and can encourage dependency.”

Roadside doctors with no degrees thrive in India. ‘Lame walk’
There is another menace.These people conduct self paid programmes in television with prepaid,tutotored audience before the camera,vouchsafing the products.At least media should refrain from airing these programmes.
Another type of Charlatanry is run by Christian organisations,which show live “instances”of ‘lame walking and blind seeing’by hystericall crying and yelling, calling it prayer.Most of these ‘cured’ are tutored and paid poor people.The people who run it have been running this as a business for three generations including a child from 3 years.Insult to Christianity and Jesus.
At least the Church should take action.These programmes demean Jesus and Christianity.
Government will take no action, hiding behind Secularism
Story;
New Delhi, India (CNN) — Sitting on an iron bench along a busy street, Chaman Lal sticks his fingers into a mug full of a greasy concoction and then applies the dark-red brew to areas where his patients complain of pain.Lal — who does not have a license to practice medicine, but claims to be a successful bone doctor and traditional healer — says this potion of 18 herbs is a cure-all. His large signboard, placed along the roadside, claims he can even treat paralysis.
“I have a special potion for polio as well. Although I don’t get polio cases these days, but it can be cured with that potion and oil massage,” Lal said as he rubbed the broken ankle of a young man with the potion.

Maternal Mortality.
Be that as it may for death due to non availabilty of prenatal care,What about complications arising out of Ceasarian Operations?Though it offers relatively less painful delivery, many complications arise during later years, especially during meno pause.Doctors,at least in India recommend C section to enable them to charge more, patients opt for this to effect delivery less painfully.
Would be mothers are better advised to go in for Natural Delivery to avoid problems later in their life.
Story:
Health ministers from around the world have agreed that swift action must be taken to reduce the number of women dying during pregnancy and childbirth.At the UN Population Fund meeting in Addis Ababa the ministers said the number of women dying in this way was actually increasing in some nations.

Food,Hunger and Biotechnology.
We need to use all the available land fit for cultivation;provide adequate water resources.Do not build buildings in agricultual lands.
Too much shift by Agriculturists to other professions must be checked by offering good remuneration for produce and urbanisisation be reduced to help peolpe take to or continue Agriculture.
Distribution of produce has to be stream lined with out allowing for corporations’s speculative trading.
Genetically modified foods/seeds have to be tested thoroughly before being released to the market.Seeds marketed by Monsanto in India have not increased yieds, but in fact made the land barren.
Till these steps are taken, along with a detailed study of GMF(genetically modified foods) on health, Biotech has a limited role to play.
Long and short of it,use available resources to the optimum right now.
Story:
The debate over genetically modified crops and food has been contaminated by political and aesthetic prejudices: hostility to U.S. corporations, fear of big science and romanticism about local, organic production.Refusing genetic modification makes a difficult problem more daunting.
Food supply is too important to be the plaything of these prejudices. If there is not enough food we know who will go hungry.Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made its adoption imperative. As Africa’s climate deteriorates, it will need to accelerate crop adaptation. As population grows it will need to raise yields. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases
