| Raj Patel on Global Food Justice: More than one billion people overweight and so many others struggling to fill their plates? | |
| With more than one billion people around the world considered overweight, why are so many others still starving and struggling to fill their plates? Rising food prices and economic hardship are making it harder for the global poor to feed themselves. And as multinational corporations flood markets around the world with mass-produced foods, local farmers are being pushed out of business, leaving consumers with even fewer options. Many populations attracted by convenience and cheaper prices are transitioning from locally grown food to less nutritional and processed ones, leading to rising rates of obesity. On Thursday's Riz Khan show, we ask: What can be done to make the global food system more equitable? Riz speaks to Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System and The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy. | |

| Mythbusters' Adam Savage: TSA saw my junk, missed 12 inch razor blades | |
| Adam Savage: TSA saw my junk, missed 12 inch razor blades By Ben Kuchera (ars technica) The TSA isn't the most respected of governmental agencies right now, but at least it comes by the poor reputation honestly. The lack of standards, inconsistent application of searches and policies, and occasional rude agent all combine to make flying an unpleasant experience. It's often derided as (quote)security theater, which describes the experience of Mythbuster Adam Savage before a recent flight. Savage was put through the full-body scanner, and while he joked that it made his penis feel small, no one seemed to notice the items he was carrying on his person. The video tells the rest of the story. If the TSA thinks you can hijack a plane with saline solution and nail clippers, Savage's 12 inch razor blades are the equivalent of a nuclear bomb. Since the blades weren't anywhere near Savage's privates, they likely would have been missed by the pat-down as well. Sleep well, America. | |
