TIOL Questions

1. Beans are from Mexico, Pop Tarts from the US and tea is from Britain, why? It could be because the geographical positioning of Mexico allows beans to grow. Maybe because the US is such an industrial country that pop tarts have become some type of trademark. Maybe tea is simply a custom in Britain culture. Whatever the answer to "why" is, one thing is for sure, humans eat food and food is like a mother nursing her child. We value food and create customs from our values. Customs create stories.

3. The World Food Crisis

The food crisis has a lot to do with why I choose the Operation Yum Project as my TIOL topic. This project excited me and mostly because it showed this crisis. When I see a problem with the world I become excited thinking of possible ways to fix it.
The world food crisis involves people all over the world, children and families dying from lack of food. These people go through unexplainable torture. Its not just in Africa or Haiti, it is in the richest countries of the world. Why? Because they know whats going on and aren't doing enough about it.

4. Inequalities

An inequality are two thing that are not the same, that have distinct circumstance. A great example is money. A rich person might not feel the frustration that a poor person might. Though they can be compassionate and imagine it, they wont ever know how it really feels because they are an inequality.
