Haitians Eat Dirt, Cars Eat Corn

I often say that the worst excesses of the rich world are actually less ethical problems than grammatical problems. I say this for effect, of course, because they are deeply ethical problems. But a part of the difficulty is our articulation of the difficulty. Consider this story, about Haitian people who cannot afford even the most basic staple foods are literally eating dirt:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080130/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/haiti_eating_dirt;_ylt=At.SCYedMcllZmKLaFqaJqBw24cA

"When my mother does not cook anything, I have to eat them three times a day," Charlene said. Her baby, named Woodson, lay still across her lap, looking even thinner than the slim 6 pounds 3 ounces he weighed at birth."

And,

"I'm hoping one day I'll have enough food to eat, so I can stop eating these," she said. "I know it's not good for me."

Now this simple fact is that the rich world is doing this to this woman. Our society, and the people in it. There is no doubt about it - the rise in food prices is closely tied to biofuels, used by rich people to feed corn and soybeans to their cars, rather than to people, and by meat consumption.

It is also true that virtually no one in the rich world, as we struggle to deal with our own political and personal strategies, chooses to phrase this relationship in a grammatically correct way. That is, we say things like "I have to go do this thing or that thing - I have to commute long distances, because that's where my job is, or I have to go bring my kids to visit their grandkids, or I have to go get a dress for the wedding." And all of these facts are absolutely true as far as it goes - that is, often our society doesn't give us a lot of choices.

But what we never say is "I have to commute to my job, so those people in Haiti have to eat dirt" or "I have to make sure my kids spend time with their grandparents, so some Bangladeshi farmers have to drown." That is, we leave out the second clause in our sentences. And that's because we couldn't live with ourselves if we articulated the whole of our statements.

Now whenever I say these things, I royally piss people off, because they don't want to hear this. No one wants to think that they are responsible for harm to others. We don't intend it, we don't want to be, we want badly for us just to be able to go about the basics of our own lives without doing harm to others. We want this so badly that we change the structure of our sentences so that we don't even have to think about the full consequences of our actions.

On the same point, no one much likes the conclusion that we may already have pushed the climate and other natural resources so far that we may not have a lot of good options for fixing it - we may have to live a very, very different kind of lifestyle. We dislike it so badly that we're willing to do all kinds of twisting and turning to avoid teh conclusion that we may not be able to have most of the things we want.

I've spent a lot of time coming to these conclusions, and they no longer freak me out - too much. But that's not the same thing as saying I like them. That is, I've gotten pretty good at reducing my emissions, and using less energy, but what I really want is for the projected reality to be just about the level that makes me comfortable - that is, I want us to be able to do a renewable build out that has enough energy and is used in particular ways so that I can do my happy little low energy thing and feel good about it. That is, I want pretty much what everyone else wants - I want to go along living my life without worrying about whether I'm doing harm, or I have to push myself to a scary, different place. And I want that really, really badly.

I really have to watch myself, because I find myself doing what most of us do - twisting the facts around to support the conclusions I personally feel like I can live with. But the truth is, that's not what the evidence says. That is, the climate writers who say "oh, if we just do this massive infrastructure project..." are wrong - most of those massive infrastructure projects can't possibly be supported while stabilizing the climate - most of them will push us over the top. And it isn't just that biofuels are a bad idea - it is the idea that we're all going to get to have personal transport is a bad idea. But, of course, we want it to be true. We want there to be a way out - most of us don't demand that it would be easy, just bearable. And if it isn't, if the news is really bad, we respond to it by getting angry at the person who is saying it, or saying, "Oh, well, it is hopeless."

But it isn't hopeless. It is just that what we have to do is enormously hard and painful. And that's maybe not fair. And we have every right to be angry and frustrated - just as long as we don't allow ourselves to forget, however much we would want to, that other people are eating dirt. That is, our anger and frustration is legitimate, but as hard as this is on us, we cannot ask other people to pay a far higher price. Period.

All it takes to know that is the ability to put yourself in the shoes of that woman in Haiti. Imagine you haven't had any food in three days, you've never had enough food, that all you and your child will have eat today is a cookie made of shortening and dirt. And ask yourself, is what I am being asked to do so very hard? Is it so hard that I can ask that woman to bear a little more of my burden? I do not diminish the challenges of finding a way, but this woman in Haiti is the beginnings of a vast, vast and evil tragedy created by us. Just as the farmer in Bangladesh who said, as his farm and only sources of food were washed away under him, "I have been told this problem is caused by electricity, but I swear, I have never had even a single lightbulb."

The burden of these problems will be borne anyway. There is no longer time to imagine that someone will not suffer. The question is whether we will take up our share of the suffering, and find a way to change the things we "have to" do, so that others, who might, if we bothered to ask, say that they "have to" eat and "have to" live get a chance to do those things.

We need to stop the biofuels boom, and working on that means working at every level - we need to tell political candidates what we care about, and speak and write, and also drive less, and not buy ethanol. We need to stop climate change at every level - that means voting and running for election ourselves, or writing, or calling or marching - and also cutting our own emissions.

Because otherwise, we become cannibals. We are feeding other people's lives to our cars, devouring the world's poor. And it doesn't stop there - as we warm the planet and draw down biological resources, we are eating our own children. It must stop.

The article notes that the price of the good dirt is going up. Now there's a metaphor - when we reduce the world's poor to eating dirt, and eat the next generation's topsoil, what will be left?

Ah I admire the fire of your passion. But things are worse.

This woman is not "the beginning of a vast, vast and evil tragedy created by us." That tragedy has been going for a long time already. Haiti is no stranger to hunger. Our grandparents screwed Haiti, and our parents did too. This is nothing new. "Is it so hard that I can ask that woman to bear a little more or my burden?" No one is ASKING her anything, as if she had the power to say no, thank you. She has no power, or insufficient power to feed her kid anything better, partly because of our choices, whether we ASK her or not. Even as we try diligently to face the truth our words slip out from under us. But none of this is news, this is who we already are and have been for quite some time. Ethanol just raises the prices and changes just how MANY Haitians have to eat dirt because they are too poor to afford food. Eating dirt when you can't afford even a single cup of rice a day has been common enough, long enough to be "traditional" in Haiti, according to this article. Peter Singer has argued that all first worlders need to donate a significant percentage of their income to alleviating 3rd world poverty since 1971. We were all born into a world that was already radically unjust, and we have all acclimatized to that injustice, or raged impotently against it without being able to fix it. And everyone I have ever met, including me, doesn't even do as much as even WE can do to ameliorate it. That is who we are. And in our hearts we all already know it, and simply can't bear to look at ourselves. And yet even the self-loathing of briefly thinking about this and looking at ourselves seems unable to change us long-term.

LATE RISING by Jaques Prevert

Terrible
is the soft sound of a hardboiled egg
cracking on a zinc counter
and terrible is that sound
when it moves in the memory
of a man who is hungry
Terrible also is the head of a man
the head of a man hungry
when he looks at six o'clock in the morning
in a smart shop window and sees
a head the color of dust
But it is not his head he sees
in the window of 'Chez Potin'
he doesn't give a damn
for the head of a man
he doesn't think at all
he dreams
imagining another head
calf's-head for instance
with vinegar sauce
head of anything edible
and slowly he moves his jaws
slowly slowly
grinds his teeth for the world
stands him on his head
without giving him any comeback
so he counts on his fingers one two three
one two three
that makes three days he has been empty
and it's stupid to go on saying It can't
go on It can't go on because
it does
Three days
three nights
without eating
and behind those windows
paté de fois gras wine preserves
dead fish protected by their boxes
boxes in turn protected by windows
these in turn watched by the police
police protected in turn by fear
How many guards for six sardines . . .
Then he comes to the lunch counter
coffee-with-cream buttered toast
and he begins to flounder
and in the middle of his head
blizzard of words
muddle of words
sardines fed
hardboiled eggs coffee-with-cream
coffee black rum food
coffee-with-cream
coffee-with-cream
coffee crime black blood
A respectable man in his own neighborhood
had his throat cut in broad daylight
the dastardly assassin stole from him
two bits that is to say
exactly the price of a black coffee
two slices of buttered toast
an a nickel left to tip the waiter
Terrible
is the soft sound of a hardboiled egg
cracking on a zinc counter
and terrible is that sound when it moves
in the memory
of a man who is hungry.

Sharon, you referred to "her child", but I believe she had seven of them. We need to do all those things you said, but poor, hungry people need to stop having so many babies, too. I know it's not as simple as saying, "Honey, don't have any more children," but it's part of the problem that shouldn't be ignored. At least, I don't think you can use this story as an example and ignore that issue.

just ducky said...

We cannot in all fairness blame this on someone having children--whether it be one child or many children. If poor people cannot afford food then they certainly cannot afford birth control. Yes, abstinence costs nothing--however then we've put yet another prejudice or restriction on poor people. It's as if we are saying "You can't have fair wages, sanity living conditions, food OR physical closeness/love. You cannot be married because you cannot afford birth control OR you can be married but you can't have sex because you might get pregnant and make the food even more scarce." Is that right? Is that fair? In my opinion, it is not fair...quite the opposite it is unjust and appalling. We live in the land of plenty. I'm not rich. I live paycheck to paycheck, but I've got a pot of rice on the stove and my children will go to bed with full bellies. That woman deserves the same as I have--adequate shelter, children and full belly.

And sharon, thanks for the link to this. I put it on my blog too. Hopefully lots and lots of people will see this article. It may not be a new problem, but maybe it's time to get the word out to those (like me) who didn't know before.

This made me feel sick to read.

I have an 11 month old baby, and I can't imagine what it must be like to not be able to feed your child.

To think it is caused by our own greed and so-called 'need' to drive our cars is horrible and inexcusable.

Biofuels are not the answer. The problem is cars. We need an alternative to personal, polluting, inefficient transport.

Sometimes I am ashamed to be human.

Lee said...

As a secondary comment, I'd like to point those who keep blaming third world poverty striken mothers for their 'too many children' towards this article by George Monbiot:

Population Bombs.

Anonymous said...

I think this is an important point you are trying to make, but I don't think you've made it, at least in a way that will get through the majority in denial.

It is fairly easy to blame the Haitian ruling class. They are much more directly responsible than I am.

I could blame our ruling class for the ethanol laws that increase the incentive for Haitian landowners to export food.

Besides, in that kind of social/political environment, with no stable society and retirement system, it seems to me that as soon as you increase the food supply, the population growth will quickly overwhelm it.

Population growth is the elephant no one wants to talk about, but life will always be cheap unless we stop it somehow.

We can all start being angels by driving the minimum possible, and within a few years, population growth here and elsewhere will out pace our efforts to conserve.

Until we as a world find a way to stop population growth, this is hopeless, conservation is just a race to the bottom until we are all eating mud pies. Shouldn't I continue to feel guilty and conserve even more until I am as poor as her?

As the other poster said this has existed all along. The only reason it is more visible now is because of the peak in oil production, which will put a stop to population growth the hard way.

I'm spending many tanks of gasoline searching for a place to relocate. Am I supposed to stop looking, so that this poor lady can eat better? This doesn't make any sense. (I will note that in the future when lots of people decide to relocate all at once, energy will get even more expensive.)

I believe that on some level we all do have responsibility for this woman, and I try not to be an energy glutton, but I just feel hopeless.

Kory said...

I knew things were bad in haiti but I had no idea it was...wow.

The article does raise kind of an elephant in the room for a lot of greenies who do realize the impact that having children has on the world.

Explaining why you chose to adopt (as opposed to adopting as a last resort) is like explaining why you are vegetarian, except its even harder to keep people from being defensive.

There seems to me to be a conflict between relocalisation of your everyday life and globalisation of your sense of responsibility for the state of the entire world.

All this hand wringing over people starving so far away seems a bit pointless. Blame the corporations/governments/elites/greed/consumerism/etc etc all you want. Even blame yourself. It wont change a thing. You may as well lay awake at night sobbing over the irish potato famine, or the fall of Ur.

I much preferred Sharon's earlier writings about practical changes in your immediate environment. About charity being best bestowed upon our families and neighbors. The ideas and lessons in those essays applied equally to the starving Haitian mother, and gave everyone more realistic and immediate ways to start improving their own lives.

Daharja, thank you for the link to Monbiot's article.

It's so disgusting and discouraging to hear people from rich nations (especially people who read this blog) blame the poor of the world for their hunger and suffering when, really, the gluttony and greed of people from rich nations are the true culprits.

George Monbiot says it all in above referenced article. Here's an excerpt:

"The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization expects that global meat production will double by 2050 (growing, in other words, at two and a half times the rate of human numbers). The supply of meat has already tripled since 1980: farm animals now take up 70% of all agricultural land and eat one third of the world's grain [emphasis mine]. In the rich nations we consume three times as much meat and four times as much milk per capita as the people of the poor world. While population growth is one of the factors that could contribute to a global food deficit, it is not the most urgent."

So, yeah, whoever said that the woman had seven children? That's a huge part of the problem right there. If whatever social / family systems are in place are geared towards such high birthrates, then nothing will be able to fix those societies. Even if we radically restructure agriculture to give them all the food they need, if each family has seven children, whatever sustenance they enjoy wouldn't last long.

You can rant about the current unsustainability of the first world, but the fact of the matter is that having seven kids is just as unsustainable as having a new plasma screen every couple of years, and actually multiplies the eventual or immediate human suffering. Fix that first, then real, lasting solutions are possible. Not before.

If I read the article correctly, the mother of the baby was a sixteen year old girl. She lived with her parents and siblings. I do feel for the poor in Haiti, yet I have heard that aid sent to them does not always reach those who need it. If there is corruption in the government that keeps the people starving, I find it a bit hard to relate that fact to whether I drive a car or eat meat on occasion.

Lisa Zahn said...

I have two kids. I often find myself thinking that I really should have more if the economy fails and our society as it is collapses. Who's going to take care of me in my old age? In our current US system we depend on our savings and the govt. to provide us our long term care in old age. If those things are gone, it will be completely up to my family to take care of me.

With only two children, if something happens (G*d forbid) to one or both of them, suddenly I have no one. If one or both of them choose not to take care of me, because they're living their own lives, etc., what will happen to me?

Does this sound selfish? Perhaps. It's also just plain survival instinct, which I think is what Sharon and all of us reading her blog are concerned about, right? Survival of humans and other animals on this planet. So why shouldn't I worry about my own survival, and that of my family, and if I am going to depend entirely on my family to take care of me (as people until the last century have always done), then perhaps I should've had more than my "politically correct" share of two kids.

The woman in Haiti has the same concerns. Many of her babies will die early in life. She has no one but her children to take care of her eventually. This is the way the US used to be, and it's the way it is still in 3rd world countries. She is just doing her best to survive. Probably not thinking she should've had less kids so we could all use more ethanol, food, etc. to keep us fat, happy and driving our autos!

Brian, actually, I went to Haiti some years ago on a relief program, and I'm quite familiar with the history of our depredations there - that said, however, the biofuels boom is *new* and when I said it was new, what I meant is that Haiti, already the poorest of the poor, are the canaries in the biofuel boom coal mine - soon, it won't be just (it isn't just, but this is particularly dramatic example) the Haitians, but much of the rest of the world.

Andy and George - the simple truth is that even in the poorest parts of the world, population levels are modulating. And your claims about exponential growth eliminating any changes are simply untrue - the largest resource depletion problem is the rich world - we use 50xs the resources that a Haitian child does. This kid is 16 and only has one, but she could have 30, and she won't come even close to using what you do. The claim that having 7 kids is "just as unsustainable as the plasma tv" is simply wrong - it isn't nearly as unsustainable. If it was, the proportion of resources used wouldn't be so great - that is, 1 guy with a plasma tv is using the resources of 50 Haitians.

For cripes sake, she doesn't have 7 kids - she and her family live in a tiny house with a lot of people in it because they are poor.

As for the Haitian leadership - they are in large part manipulated by our politics, and Haiti was stripped and raped long before anyone presently came into power. But they are not responsible for biofuels.

Void, this isn't about charity, except in the sense that it is charitable not to go around stabbing people to death. We know perfectly well that biofuels drive up the price of food and people starve - this is not about food aid, it is about not taking food for the hungry and putting it in our cars.

This is a consequence of globalization in large part - I don't think this is incompatible with relocalization at all.

I think that if your posts were shorter more people would read them. I have known of this blog for awhile, but I usually bypass it because the posts are too long. Be concise.

Anonymous said...

Interesting-and troubling as usual. It's hard to figure out what to say really. The issues are so huge but it's not ok to just throw up ones's hands and declare that it is so hopeless one might as well not even try. And yes, biofuels are not the sole cause of this- but it sure won't help an already difficult situation.

As for causes there are many- first world depredations, colonialism, extraction of resources, population, in short many causes.

What do we do now? It's hard to say really. It's so true though Sharon how we do tend to rationalize what we do here in our first world country- the whole traveling so the kids get to know their grandparents one is a biggie- it's true and valid in a sense- but then you've got the repercussions. So what is the answer? I know I've struggled with that one- if I stay at home I have no way to work. If I don't drive I will become alienated and marginalized in the rural area in which I live. I cut back as much as I reasonably can- way more than most in this country I'd say in terms of foot-print- but there are limits which if I go beyond at present, will result in a life that is much less rich-and I don't mean cash only here-but in experiences, than it now is. Is it selfish of me to want to keep some of what I enjoy in my life? If I don't will it go towards feeding this 16 year old and her baby some decent food?

I don't know what the answers are here- if I were to give up everything would that result in a better life
for others? I tend to think that it has to happen on a larger scale than this. That our society as a whole has got to undertake living at a level such that it allows eveyone else in the world to live that way as well. It has never been this way to my knowledge- perhaps hunter/gatherer societies? But not since agriculture came on board I'd say.

Anonymous said...

Sharon you say "this is not about food aid, it is about not taking food for the hungry and putting it in our cars." I don't understand. Isn't refraining from taking food for the hungry and putting it in our cars (or our cattle) when we can profitably do so a FORM of food aid by subsidizing cheap food prices via abstainance? I thought you were ADVOCATING food aid for moral reasons, via suppressing food prices by our personal choices.

BTW as I understand Jewish law, Jewish farmers are not allowed to glean their fields, so that other more desperate people can. But if the desperate people live in another country and can't get to your fields to glean them, is there some legal mechanism for tele-gleaning? Can you, for example, allow a non-Jew to glean the field and send the result where it would do good? Do Jewish farmers usually work together with organizations of non-Jews (like say the Society of St. Andrews) to actually get this done? Or are the margins usually eaten by the crows in the US? One site I saw suggested scout troops as good gleaning intermediaries, but I can't get a feel for just how well-developed the US gleaning system is yet. Is this already up and running, or is it just starting or are there just so few Jewish farmers that it doesn't make much difference?

Sure, if we were using less ethanol we could be sending more food aid to Haiti. But these people are not starving due to global warming but to poverty combined with near total deforestation and destruction of topsoil. Haiti was badly affected by slavery and colonialism, but so was the Dominican Republic, which is the other half of that island. Should we get the credit because the Dominicans aren't starving? You can see the difference between the two nations from space: intact forests versus bare subsoil. That is a local management issue over which we have little control, and yes, population matters. Haitian families with seven children don't contribute nearly as much to *global warming* as you or I do. But they do contribute plenty to the despoliation of their local environment, which is their real problem, as that is where they have to get their food.

jewishfarmer said...

I think the main point is being missed - food prices have gone up by more than 50% in Haiti - the woman in the article *wasn't* starving to death before the biofuels boom - she was merely malnourished. The food price rises have a number of causes, two out of three directly attributable to to rich world influences - global warming induced droughts reducing grain yields in some regions and biofuels. The other one is only indirectly related to us - growing meat consumption. But a good portion of it can be laid out our door.

Of course the situation in Haiti is complicated, and attributable to a host of problems - but the present rise in food prices that risks starving millions or billions of people by raising food prices out of the reach of the poor and borderline poor are our choice - period. At this point, I'm only asking that we go back to the crappy situation of a couple of years ago, not that we fix all human difficulties, just that we not starve any extra millions. That doesn't seem so unreasonable.

And can I please say this one more time *THE WOMAN IN QUESTION DOES NOT HAVE 7 CHILDREN.*

It is true that local population does have an impact on a region's ability to support itself - but again, it seems fairly evident that this woman was able to eat until the biofuels boom. That is, many regions rely in part on imported and purchased food - including my own. Again, this is not about the perfection of humanity, but just not starving anyone extra.

I'm not sure what you mean on the question of whether we should "take credit" for the Dominican republic. I suppose Spain could take credit for not having the political resources to exercise power there in the 16th century, and thus not enslaving the population. The population disparities between Haiti and the Dominican republic go back to that slave period - Haiti was already twice as populous, because it was at least twice as exploited. Or are you suggesting we should take credit for Trujillo?

Sharon

jewishfarmer said...

Brian, if you are calling food aid "not using all the food up" so that market prices can remain stable, than yes, I am advocating food aid. I'm not sure I would call it that - "food aid" generally means actual grain deliveries as humanitarian aid. It seems sort of like calling it medical aid to say "We won't actually set the AIDS drugs on fire so you can't have access to them" - something of an overstatement.

As for gleaning, Judaism has the concept of pe'ah, which refers both to the margins of one's bodies and one's fields. These belong to the poor, and we can't use them ourselves.

In our case, there simply aren't a lot of enthusiastic gleaners, and a CSA our size doesn't have "fields" in the same sense it is meant biblically, so we plant 1/7 of our acreage to food to be donated to the food pantry and local food insecure people.

There are some gleaning groups, but we're small enough that it doesn't make sense to come here - we just do it for the poor and give it them. Although when I was in late pregnancy and unable to harvest due to early delivery one year, our local boy scouts did come harvest and donate. I don't know how the system works.

Haiti's deforestation and topsoil loss are serious problems, but the truth is that Haiti could still be food self-sufficient according to FAO estimates. Instead, the best soils in Haiti are used in sugarcane plantations, for export -and Haiti exports something like 4%of its staple grains as well. Since the labor system is exploitative there, cutting cane doesn't pay enough to buy food.

Now some of the responsibility for this goes to the evil Haitian leadership (for which we bear some responsiblity, but not all) but a lot of it goes to neo-liberal economic policy that has consistently offered funds and incentives to Haiti to expand its plantation system. Land devoted to sugar cane has expanded, coming out of the land of poor Haitians. Bob Corbett, who directs a Haitian relief program I've done some stuff with points out that almost half the "development" money poured into Haiti over the last two decades went into developing export crops, despite the overwhelming history of Haiti's subsistence agriculture and the opposition of much of the populace.

Again, it is not all the truth in the world to say we are responsible for the plight of the Haitians, but there is no question that we are responsible for the present worsening of their plight, and for a chunk of the older one.

Do I think we should send food aid? Maybe, if we could actually get it to the populace, but I'd settle for not setting their meals in our engines.

I'm not counting on anyone to take care of me in my old age. Not the government, not my children, not my neighbors. If it happens, that's fine, if not, I'll try to time things so that I still have enough strength and presence of mind to end my own life before I become such a burden that I have to be packed off to a "nursing home" to await a slow, lonely lingering death among the other "unwanteds."

That's *my* plan, anyway. YMMV.

yeah *expand* the example people! ok, so some of you may not have any empathy for this girl because she is from a large family, but what about the small families who are similarly suffering? is that still excusable to you? and what about the non-haitians who are suffering largely because of the western world's culture of excess? this is bigger than just one girl with 'too many' siblings or one country with a corrupt government...

Seeing the state of those in Haiti is like Buddha seeing the beggar and realizing not only that there is suffering in the world, but also that the pleasure city built for him caused the suffering. Most of us won't have Buddha's reaction; We will stay in the pleasure city as long as possible, partly for our own sake and partly for the higher cause of keeping our children in the pleasure city (why we assume they will be happy here when we are not is another question).

Nearly anything we do to increase our standard of living via money will damage the environment and the poor of the world. The causal chain for this is kept blissfully obscure. As someone working two jobs to keep my kids in private schools I have obviously not learned this lesson.

Haiti could feed itself, given a number of things it doesn't have - resources to build up the soil, political stability, basic education and health services for everyone. The US has been in a position to make those things possible several times, and has chosen not to.

Some points for the American audience: America occupied Haiti from 1915 - 1934, and wrote their constitution. We were perpetually tied up in the dictatorships and coups (Haiti has only had one President who was democratically elected, served a full term without being deposed, and peacefully gave up power at the end of his term) and invaded again in 1994. There are high barriers against Haitian refugees coming into the US.

Aside from being entangled in the global economy, Haiti is poor because the Dominican Republic has historically driven poorer, darker people over the border on a regular basis. Haitians provide cheap labor in the DR, but have little legal standing - children born in the DR to Haitian parents are stateless, and thousands of Haitians are deported from the DR every year. The US occupied the Dominican Republic from 1916-1922, and various US administrations supported the dictator Trujillo in the name of stability, long after the 1937 massacre of Haitians in the DR was well known.

Not that it helps anything, but eating dirt- or clay is preferred- is also traditional in China in times of extreme famine. They know about it, too- typically it means you're near the end, and death is not far off.

If you're still in touch with people working in Haiti, Sharon, I have a suggestion- oil palm. NOT for the sugar growers- for the people- one tree per back-yard, trees stuck into corners- could feed a lot of people. Raw palm oil is great for frying plantain or fish- and sky high in vitamin A.

Oil palm plantations would just be another disaster for them, I think- but a tree here, and a tree there, owned by the neighborhood- might help. The new varieties produce a 40-60 lb ripe cluster of fruit- every 10-12 days- incredibly productive; and they can start to bear in just 3-4 years.

Humans tend to consume beyond their carrying capacity, one way or another, almost wherever they are. It might tend to happen worst on islands (Madagascar is the same way, and almost everyone knows about Easter Island now), but in the vast majority of complex cultures you see either too many people or too much consumption. Go to Africa, and you will see tiny fragments of forest surrounded by a sea of humanity, which just a few decades ago were buffered by large amounts of thinly occupied land. Within one human lifetime, most of that wild land has been swarmed over. In many places only fragments remain, without corridors to permit wildlife migration or gene flow. There is no way that so many people can live sustainably there, yet their numbers continue to increase, mostly driven by males who actively resist any attempt to provide "their" wives with access to birth control. At some point, continuing to blame Westerners for local resource consumption implies unpleasantly that we can be responsible for our choices and everyone else's while "they" can't even be expected to manage their own. Now, just because we are not responsible for someone else's suffering doesn't mean that we shouldn't help him. But I am not sure we do anyone a favor by giving extra food to help them further increase their population, which will then destroy those last fragments of forest and make further inroads into the topsoil. Then, if and when our bloated system collapses and we no longer have huge surpluses to send them, those people will be facing a worse dieoff, and they will have very little environment left for their children to make use of.

Dewey, I think you are overgeneralizing. There are certainly plenty of examples of people radically exceeding their carrying capacity, but there are also examples of societies managing these issues. The ones that seem least able to do so, however, are the ones dealing with the legacy of colonialist exploitation - a process so destructive that I think it manifestly does create differences in the ability to manage one's environment, simply because it erases, and destroys existing management structures.

For example, Vandana Shiva fascinatingly traces, in _Ecofeminism_ the history of population increases in India, a famous example of overpopulation. In India, the push into population instability was not the green revolution, as peakists like to assert, but colonialism - population expansion and colonial expansion track exactly together.

That is, colonialist policies demanded population expansion - when it no longer served our interests, we start complaining about overshoot. Globalization works much the same way.

But again, much of this is a giant red herring. My claim is not that we should magically fix Haiti, or apportion all moral responsiblity accurately on Haiti, just that people who were not starving two years ago, and who are manifestly starving now because of our practices should not have to do so. I think your attempt to accurately apportion responsibility is irrelevant to the larger point - whatever Haiti's circumstances, the present movement of the merely very poor into the realm of the starving is our fault - period. Discussion of the rest is a distraction, and it might be worth thinking about why we are so anxious to distract ourselves with dividing historic responsibility.

Sharon, thank you for many thought provoking posts. The problem with this one is, in my view, that the connection between our actions and someone else's sufferings is not as straightforward as you depict it. Climate change as a moral problem is hence much more complex. I wrote me view here: http://aleksi.knuutila.net/?p=145

All the best,
Aleksi

Sharon, you write well, and I agree with you. Thanks for telling it like it is and not watering things down. I respect that.

I don't know how anyone who has a good grasp of history and politics -- and who hasn't been force fed some twisted mathematical "truth" by neo-classical economists -- could deny that the first world has played an enormous role in creating and sustaining the misery of the third world.

I think cognitive dissonance has much to do with our collective denial of responsibility. We're unwilling to sacrifice a standard of living that can't be sustained without exploiting others. So instead of changing, we find ways to minimize the truth and blame our victims for their troubles. People shut out clear, rational arguments that don't fit with their world view and self-concept. Our self-esteem is totally wrapped up with consumption. We've been told since we were children that having lots of stuff is what makes us "winners" in life. We don't want to give anything up -- it would be giving up a part of ourselves that we've worked hard to create and nourish. That's why people get so completely defensive and pissed off when you bring up this subject -- you're messing with their self-esteem and sense of self-worth. I'm not just pointing the finger at others. I also plead guilty.
