A Glaring Contradiction.

An SPC'er recently made friends with a couple who spent many years in impoverished countries and had seen many children starve to death, (not that it doesn't happen in supposedly affluent ones), but I'll let Graham tell it: ''Pam and I were on a cruise and observed a wealthy couple help themselves to the buffet. Twice they filled their plates and each time took a couple of bites, groaned and threw the food into the garbage. I was so angry I felt like shouting, ''how can you waste food when countless millions are starving?''

The couple might have said they'd paid for the food, therefore could have done what they wanted, but nevertheless it does suggest there is something seriously wrong in an economic system where such glaring contradictions exist.
