Sustainability and Egypt

As Mark Bitterman and Louise Fresco expressed the importance of the food sustainability, I would like to share the story of the latest crisis in Egypt. The revolution in Egypt archived a great victory. People overthrow the 30 years of dictatorship by Hosni Mubarak. Egypt is not the only one. The protest in Tunisia also overthrow its dictator Ben Ali.
There were several reasons why the people of Egypt, Tunisia and other countries protest. Food was one of them. I am not under estimate the revolution in Egypt and Tunisia. What I would like the write is linked to the presentation of Bitterman and Fresco. One tragedy connection I found between Bitterman's presentation and the revolutions was that in the United States, we are consuming way more food than we need, while Egyptian was suffering from shortage of food.
The revolution in Egypt showed the world that the importance of the sustainability of food. Egypt is a great nation in many ways. However, society can not survive with corrupted government which can not control the sustainability of food supplies.
