Peakfood recently received the following comment from Mr A. Gladstone from Wigtownshire following his purchase of Famine in the West.
I found the book really interesting and agreed with just about all of it, all
very succinct. However, I think some reference should have been made to limiting
population growth through birth control. There is a huge unmet demand for birth
control, in fact it has been estimated that there are 80 million unwanted
pregnancies worldwide every year which is approximately the rate of population
growth. Cash is needed to offer sexual education and contraception where it is
needed. The intervention of the Christian right in America has been disastrous,
blocking the funding of any organisation which offers abortion, even as a last
resort. The Catholic church is also a major obstacle. Empowerment of women is a
key issue.
Do you agree that population growth should be limited in these ways? Mr Gladstone recommends these sites:
