The ONU has commissioned a global poll on the following question: "say, honestly, what is your opinion on the scarcity of food in the rest of the world" The result was as follows: - Europeans had problems understanding what "scarcity" means - Africans asked back what "food" is - U.S.A. had no clue of what "rest of the world" is - China was puzzled by "opinion" - Italian government is currently busy redefining "honestly"
