The UN Deletes Article Titled ‘The Benefits of World Hunger.’ UN Claims It Was Satire.

I believe the UN thought it was funny. Because every one in the UN is a frickin’ clown.

UN Deletes Article Titled ‘The Benefits of World Hunger.’ Was It Real or Satire?

FEE The author of the article in question told FEE it was not a parody.

UN Chronicle, the official magazine of the United Nations, recently deleted a 2008 article titled “The Benefits of World Hunger.”

The article, which now leads to an “error page,” was written by George Kent, a now retired University of Hawaii political science professor. In the article, Kent argued that hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy.”

“Much of the hunger literature talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive,” Kent wrote. “That is nonsense. No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.”

UN Chronicle deleted the article after it began to cause a stir on social media. The magazine said Kent’s article should not be taken literally, contending that it was a work of parody.

“This article appeared in the UN Chronicle 14 years ago as an attempt at satire and was never meant to be taken literally. We have been made aware of its failures, even as satire, and have removed it from our site.” more here

  1. I had saved the UN’s online threat in a snapshot, because threat is what it is against the world’s populations with proof of it by recent worldwide food shortages. The author and UN meant every word of what was written and mean to carry out their threat.
