Food for the People, Including of Harlem and the Bronx NY

The LYM activists have been working in the street, from Washington DC to Seattle, Washington, to make sure that there is a mobilization against starvation. Harlem and Bronx NY residents have noticed that rice prices suddenly went up from $6.00 for a 20-lb bag to as much as $10 for it.

Now the LaRouche Youth Movement is mobilizing around international action at the FAO summit in Rome on June the 3rd till the 5th. What the world needs is a doubling of food production. The bio-fuels have drained corn and sugar food production which have substituted for other crops. This has been the nail that broke the camels back, to skyrocketing food prices.

Due to economic speculation, the high futures prices for food commodities are often NOT WHAT THE FARMERS GET. There does seem to be a strong British Empire, Anglo-Dutch Oligarchy interest in destroying food production and starving millions. Fertilizer prices have more than doubled, and of course, gas prices are up to $4 a gallon in the United States, $3.20 before taxes. This has made mechanized agriculture more expensive.

Many student groups at the University of Washington, in Seattle are interested in joining the food mobilization. This includes the Indian students, Middle Eastern students, and a new student club interested in helping to stop hunger and homelessness in the United States.
