...you take from someone else." Quoted from Dorian Paskowitz in the new documentary about his family life on the road and surfing, called Surfwise. I definitely also recommend this movie (that is, to anyone comfortable with a brutally honest 80-year-old man talk about "eating p****"), now playing at Kendall Square theatre in Cambridge.
Related to this quote, Scientific American has a great opinion piece, called "Surging Food Prices Mean Global Instability" in their May issue about the lack of purchasing power as cause for famines, not lack of food.
In considering what to do with my (slowly) growing accumulation of financial wealth, this is the exact issue I don't want to exacerbate (even with my meager savings, it's still about the principle of the matter).
I shall meditate more on what an individual is to do. I have already be dieting -- a consumer diet, if you will, and one of conservation and preservation of resources. Including snacking less (it's out of habit anyway, not hunger), buying less, traveling less, reusing paper towels, "yellow mellow", and so on. Any additional ideas, please do share.
