Having to drink beer out of a pint glass that has a handle. :mad:

On a similiar note, when you go to open a can and the ring pull comes off before it breaks the top open :mad:

You have to beat the opening mercilessly with something blunt

Yes, imagine berating multinationals for putting patents on small crop growers in India or tearing down primeval forest in order to grow the GM food.

I suppose you sneer at fair trade product as well?

Given a choice between starving to death or eating wheat - which would you choose?

It's really easy with all the technology, machinery, and money those of us in the first world have, to look down our noses at processes that make food more abundant and cheaper.

Look at someone like Norman Borlaug (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug) who introduced high-yield, disease resistant crops to places like Mexico, India, Pakistan and all throughout Africa. He's credited with SAVING OVER A BILLION LIVES...

But there are rich, well feed, people in first world countries that picket, protest and update their Facebook accounts speaking out again advances that keep poor people from DYING slow and horrific deaths.



Hence it's a first world problem.

Moments ago, I had a lovely cup of tea. I also had a lovely pack of chocolate polo biscuits.

As I was dipping the biscuit, I got slightly distracted and over dipped. Both tea and biscuit are now ruined, along with my afternoon.
