One of our main arguments is that we in Western countries actually have part to play in causing the __1__problems of the Third World. Many Third World countries are saddle with immense debt burdens, for __2__example. They were lent money with low interest rates __3__in the 1970s, when money flooded into Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the Third World. The interest rates have then been risen __4__dramatically. So you have a situation where a country in many cases can’t even repay the interest, letting alone __5__the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example from what I have come across is a country in West Africa where the consumption, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if they are imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. __6__
The peanut is a major source of protein in this country.So you have people go hungry as a result of that. __7__The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk which we do not know what to do with.
We have enough milk, more milk than we can cope with in the Western World. And also that milk __8__was transformed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely __9__economic relationship that we have got ourselves in __10__the Third World.
