Get mad with me!! it is for a good cause!


The FAO has recently launched its newest campaign. They aim to make people aware of the important role they can play in changing the world and make it a better place. One billion people suffer from chronic hunger around the world and the FAO has decided it is time to put an end to it. We cannot keep looking the other way or denying such a cruel reality. And that is why the FAO is trying to get us all MAD AS HELL with the situation, so that we can all yell together “I AM MAD AS HELL and I am not gonna let one billion people go hungry”.

The video below presents it quite well, and there isn’t much I can add. (Great job Mr. Irons!!)

“{….}Everyone knows things are bad, it seems like we are stuck in a world where we cant change a single thing but the climate {….} We know things are bad, worse than that, they are crazy. {….} But we still think we are connected with all the people of the world. But that’s not true. People around the world suffer hunger, chronic hunger. 1 billion people, one billion of us. Now that’s bad, worse than bad, that’s crazy. And we got to get mad, I want you to get mad, I want you to get up right now, stick your head out of the window and yell I AM MAD AS HELL and I am not gonna let one billion people go hungry.”

That is what you and I should tell our politicians.
