Rice

I came across this article about rice shortage...

It moved me in a particular way because here I am, eating my lion's share of food day in and day out. I sometimes joke that I eat more before 9am than most people eat all day.

In a world view, I likely eat more before 9am than some people eat all week.

That's a real sobering thought. Here I am, trying to get my ribs to show to impress some judges. In other parts of the world, ribs are showing because hunger is real. Damn.


Take pause today to appreciate the gifts you have. If you're sitting at a computer reading this, you're already 95% richer, and 95% less hungry than the rest of this world.
