High food prices help Afghans drop opium – Breaking News – World – Breaking News.
90% of the world’s opium comes from Afghanistan. I think we’ve been bombing the wrong areas. The crops should have been fire bombed, that’d help the farmers grow crops that actually feed the worlds 923 million starving. I’m eager to find out for what reason farmers have been allowed to continue to grow poppy crops who’s only use is to supply opium to the illegal drug trade. Only when the food crisis pushes up the cost of food do the Afghan farmers switch across to wheat, because there’s more money in it!
What a crazy world.
