[Dialogue] five surprising facts about starvation that could change the international agenda

[Karl Hess]

Interesting report, but nothing new. Wasting is 
only a medical term for chronic malnutrition, 
which should hardly be news for ICA folks. It is 
odd to expect facts to change the international 
agenda, when most of us know it is about power.

Bono is creating some power with his ONE 
campaign.  I hope people who talked a lot about 
justice in the past are supporting that.

What really does change villages is integrated 
village development.  I imagine you have all seen 
it happen.  The Hunger Project took the 
principles developed at the IERD and has 
developed them further - much further - and is 
growing from country to country as fast as the 
money we can raise will enable that growth.

Very odd that the people who invented this have 
so little interest in it any more.  It does work 
spectacularly.  Is everyone co-opted?  just 
worn-out?
