The bus does not have more than
a handful of people at the stan of

I was nervous.
Upon walking on the north Side

aquamtence w1th what I had
prev1ously termed as "bum".
He was a man of about 70
years. 1 thought my clothes were

had no teeth and his words were
muffled. H1s saliva sprayed me as
he spoke. His eyes were b1g and
blue and they looked at me when
he talked. but 1l didn't seem like the
rest of h1s body did.

and pay half as much for 1t as the

sage of fish with a minimum altera­
tion of their natural habitat
Face Value. May 22. 1980 There are three matn areas in
whtch dams wreak havoc w1th the
natural balance of the rivers
Increased water temperature. exces­
sive nitrogen in the water, and
impassability of the dams.
The problems that the slamon
have negotiating the dams are eas­
ily the most vtsible. It is estimated
that nearly 15% of all adult fish
mtgrating to and from the acean are
lost at each dam. This is due to
several factors Fish migrating
upstream have a difficult time
locating the diminutive fish ladder
openings, if the dam contains any
at all. Grand Coulee dam in
Washtngton . for tnstance was bu11t
entirely without fish passage facili­
ties and now blocks 1,00 miles of
nver 1n the upper Columbia River
Basm from f1sh entry The Snake
Rtver above Hells Canyon dam Is
also maccesslble to m1gratin fish.
The downstream m1grat1on is
also inhibited by dams. Because of
the amount of dam development,
the once roanng Columbia River
has been reduced to a series of
sluggish lakes. This slows down the
salmon's m1grat1on to the sea Many
young fish lose all of thetr des1re to
mtgrate if they are delayed In
makmg the transttion from freh to
salt water The young fish that do
make it to the dams are often
caught tn the turbine blades and
chopped to p1eces The blades at
each dam are esttmated to claim
the lives of 15-20°..{, of all of the
young salmon passing through
n years of extremely hiQh runoff,
the water 1S spilled over the dams
This reduces the death rate from
the turbine blades. but creates a
new problem As water pours over
each dam, 11 picks up additional atr
wh1ch 1s then compressed under
pressure The bubbles formed from
the process are to t1ny that they
have no t1me to rise to the sunace
and escape befor the water tumbles
over yet another dam again increas­
Ing 1ts gaseous content. Thts condl~
tion 1s call nitrogen supersaturation
and can be fatal to young and old
salmon At many dams, nitrogen
levels tn thE:' water are well above
the critical'level tor salmon and
have been cited as one of the prtmary causes 1n the fish's high
mortality rate. Excess gases 1n the
water cause what is termed as gas
bubble disease", a crippling condt~
tion that can cause blindness, but If
tn ex1stence tor long periods of
t1me, will eventually cause fatal gas
embolisms in the bloodstream
The last problem, that of water
temperature change, seems to
affect the hsh less than the other
two. yet still has to be considered
an adverse effect of dams. As hot
water waste is dumped tnto the nve.
the oxygen level 1s dtrectly atfected.
Th1s alteratioll or the natural envtr­
onment 1s almost imposstble tor the
salmon to adJust to The drast1c
temperature change senously hmits
the respiratory capabilities of sal­
mon by reducing the oxygen availa­
ble to them.
So now we know the problems
What are the solutions?
To the problem of impassable
dams there seems to be no clear­
cut answer. New dams can be
designed to 1nclude Improved types
of hsh ladders, ones that are eas11y
recogmzed by and accessible to the
fish They must be highly v1sible
because salmon will expend all of
the1r energy m a short penod of
t1me 1f they are delayed at each
dam trying to find the fish ladder
entrance .
But the problem of what to do
about existmg dams still remains
Dams that have been bUilt w1thout
fish ladders m the fu~st place would
require major reconstructiOn if fish­
ways were to be added
One possible solut1on Is a had

has been tested. and prove fairly
etrectlve. It seems to be a little
extreme Another method would be
to construct artlflc1al channels
around each dam. This too, would
require major construction and
would also probably bring protest
from power companies who would
not want to give up any water.
For salmon m1gratmg down­
stream, several solutions have been
proposed . One 1s that of putting
screens In front of the turbtne
blades to keep the fish from gett1ng

compatibility w1th ourselves , we can

A case tn potnt In 1976 the
New Yorl< Ttmes and the Wall

which was entitled "The Real Cr1sis

Frances Moore Lappe pointed
out in her book Food First Beyond
the Myth of Scarctty-that 1s no
such thtng as absolute scarc1ty, that
there 1s no insurmountable physical
barrier separating hungry people
from food. that the main factors
which make the hunger problem
seem Intractable are political,
institutional, and economac .
Th1s difference in

further exemplified by the
•
• Pros1dentlnl Commission on World
Hunger, where two major schools
of thought have emerqed durlnq the
two yea~ of CommiGSion meet1ngs
The first tends to stress the
view that tha world hunger problem
can best be studied by look1ng at
errors commttted by governmen ts
in past attempts to alleviate hunger
Proponen ts of this theory contend
that adjustment and perfection of
current western world prescnptton
lor econom1c developmen t w111 do
the JOb Most of these models
include the conttnued tnfus1on of
food a1d, further anfus1ons of capital
production "appropna to'
technology and stnct ant1-tnfla t1on
dtsc1phnes
The second school-with a
considerably smaller following ­
prefers to stress the need for
systemic, structural changes of
policy and practice within both the
"have" and "have not" nations
Advocates of this point of view
want to see more self-sufficiency
within the poorest countnes, less
credit (or better terms for the
poor) from Internationa l banks
such as the International Monetary
Fund or private bankers, a loosen­
ing of present dependen cy on the
lndustnal world and serious
changes In the current methods of
producing and distributing
wealth They want alternative
strategies which would include an
Increase In the amount of land
available for the growing of sub­
sistence crops, curtailment of the
millions of acres now devoted to
export crops, curtailment of the
millions of acres now devoted to
export crops, less emphasis on the
sale by the developed nations of
high level food production tech­
nology which uses large amounts
of scarce energy, and the curtail­
ment of the millions of acres now
devoted to export crops. less
emphasis on the sale by the
developed nations of high level
food production technology wh1ch
uses large amounts of scarce
energy, and the curtailment
(except in cases of national disas­
ters of the subsidized export of
U S food grains
• These differing positions
unite. however , In their commit
ment to end hunger Daniel
Shaughnessy. Executive Director
of the Commission, put It this way
In a recent speech at tho Com­
monwealth Club In San Francisco
''Mora lmporton t than the
detailed analysis we have under
taken Is the fact that we can
ellmmata hunger, and 1t is In our
own Interest to do so, if we have
the will to do 1t the Issue of
endmg world hunger comes down
to a question of pollttcal choice."
I'd like to suggest some rea­
sons why this will has been lack­
ing First of all, we have become
Immobilized because of the sheer
Immensity of the problem Who
can really comprehend 112 btllion
prople chrontcafly malnourished?
And what, 11 anything, can we do?
Secondly, the problem Is
Immensely complex. and depend­
Ing upon which expert you con­
sult, which government you ask,
and which farmer you listen to,
you'll find not only different solu­
tions. but different definitions of
the problem
And thirdly, we have been led
to beHave that et IS "them versus
us' that, In the words of
former President Lyndon Johnson,
"they want what we got" Such a
simplistic view reinforces the myth
that the hungry people an the
world are the enemy, when In fact
the same forces which create pov­
erty and hunger abroad have
monopolized our U S food pro­
duction resources .
f we look beneath matenal
differences , we begin to perce1ve
that, especially 1n terms of food
production. we are In a common
position, faced with a common
threat-the Increasingly monopol­
Ized control of food from the fields
and through processing and marke­

between our own food crisis and

Nothing we do seems to make a
difference. Little of the money or
food we send seems to get to the
people who need It And foreign aid
seems to be just more taxpayer
money sent to upper classes In
other countries who then perpetu­
ate miserable conditions
These combined forces literally
paralyze us If you are like me, 1t
just doesn't make sense that people
are starving In a world when we
continually see more grain being
produced in this country than can
possibly be stored In our reserve
facilities We see food on our own
tables. we see a country where
wheat production Is curtailed
because of an over abundance At
the same time we are confronted
with the grim statistics as those I've
just shared with you, and we are
left with the haunting question of
"why?" Both you and I want to see
the world work We experience
ourselves capable of having an
Impact in this world, and we went
to take some responsibility to make
tl a place that nutures and
enlightens human beings In short.
deep wtthln each of us Is a strong
desire to assist our fellow people, to
reach out to others and to make a
worthwhile contribution
And whether we like tt or not,
what our government does, or falls
to do In our name has a tremend­
ous Impact on the plight of the
world's needy Instead of asking
how we can feed the world, as the
United States government has been
asking for the past 30 years, our
question ought to be this: What are
we doing, and what Is being done
In our name and with our
money-to prevent people from
taking control of the production
process and feeding themselves?
And how should we work to remove
these barriers to food self reliance?
In other words, I believe that people
can and will feed themselves if they
are allowed to do so If they aren't
feeding themselves. there are some
powerful obstacles getting in their
way
These obstacles are not the
hunger myths --the obstacles are
not simply overpopulation. too little ----
land, lazyness , poor climate. fam­
Ines, lack of technology . unequal
terms of trade and so forth The
main obstacle to food self reliance
Is that people to not control pro
ductlve resources The stark reality
Is that the person (or more likely
the Corporation) who owns the
land determines who cultivates it.
what Is grown on It and who eats
what Is produced The result Is
tremendous waste. under utilization
of land, the expansion of non-food
and luxury crops. and the feeding
of over 1/3 of the world's grain to
livestock to produce meat
et me share with you a few
facts which begin to demont
strata the net effect of a global
economic system where fewer and
fewer people control the food pro­
ducing resources In Guatemala, 2%
of the farms contain 62% of the
arable land, yet produce only 114 as
much per acre as the smaller farms.
75% of the farmer own only 12% of
the land In the Dominican Repub­
lic. the Gulf and Western Corpora
tlon controls about 15% of the
arable land, producing sugar and
beef for the North American
market
In these and other Central
Amencan and Caribbean countries,
where as many as 70% of the
children and undernounshed, at
least half of the agncuttural land,
and Invariably the best half, is used
to produce cash crops for export
even though UN figures show that
only 10o/o of the final value of these
crops accrues to the 3rd and 4th
world countries In most of the
underdeveloped countnes that type
of pattern Is tntenslfylng
That type of concentration of
power is not only happening In
countnes around the world but also
In our own country and here IS
the critical connection We too
find ourselves cut out of those
means of production , and while we
don't feel It In terms of hunger to
the extent that people overseas do.
the bulk of Americans have wit­
nessed a dramatic tncrease m food
prices over the last 15 years For
many Americans who live at or
below a poverty level the Increased
food prices mean quite simply that
there IS not enough money In their
pocketbook to purchase the food
they need Let me give you a
couple of examples of this tightening
of control In our own country
Approximately three million family
farms have gone out of business In
the last 35 years they are rapidly
replaced by large corporate farms
which not only own the land but
also produce farm equipmen t, fuel,
fertilizer and seed Only 5.5 percent
of all the farms m the United States
now operate over one-half of all the
land In farms Large agribusiness
firms control 114 of all production .
e1ther dlr~tly or through contracts.
and this portton 1s expected to rise
to 50% by 1985 Finally. less than
two-tenths of one percent of all
food manufacturers tn this country
(SO food compantes) control over
half of the industry's assets and, not
coincidentally. make most of the
profits
1 don't think It takes a great deal of 1nslght to see what kinds of
foods the major producers want all
of us to be eating The over­
whelming emphasis an media adver­
tising ts on junk food -high In
suqar additives . artificial coloring~.
calones, and low In protein Both
you and I are smart enough. I think,
to recognize that Coca Cola Is not
the real thing. yet we will spend 5
1/2 billion dollars thiS year on junk
tood
y pomt 1n these examples is
to underscore the tact that
the hungry people of the
world are our allies In an effort to
ach1eve food self reliance by com·
batt1ng those forces which have cut
each of us out of the means of
production . There Is an tntncate
and very definite connection
between the hungry people In the
world and ourselves
Approximately one million
Amencans die each year from dis­
eases which are related In part to
their diet-heart diseases . stroke
and cancer In this country, while
the majority of our people do have
enough to eat. millions of people
are hungry and malnourished
Some are sick or even mentally
retarded because their bodies did
not receave the nutntlon they
needed Some are s1ck because
they eat the wrong kinds of foods ·
foods that are overprocessed.
refined or mill, diluted. adultrated .
sweetened and then artlfaclally
colored and flavoed and then pre­
served to make them appealing . We
eat more than 3,00 addttlves along
with our meals, most of them
unsuspected Others are sick
because they cannot afford to but
the rtght kmds of food While the
U S Government has established
several programs to make sure
everyone can eat, these do not
sever nearly enough hungry people-
To reiterate. we must begin to
reexamine the root causes of
hunger . we merely strengthen
the forces we should counter In
the words of Frances Moore Lappe.

f you choose to be an effective
citizen in confronting this
situation, I believe that knowl-edge 1s the first step toward positive
action A bleeding heart Without a
grasp of reality Is, at best, a stab In
the dark What we need Is a
marriage of our Impulse to holp and
a willingness to constantly re­
evaluate the net effect of our pro­
grams.
That process can begin In any
number of ways, and you don't
have to go • over-there" to be
touched by the forces whtch cause
hunger. Let me be very specific
w1th some suggestions
IndiVIdually you can begin to
re-educate yourself by securelng
pertinent literature. much of which
is free Keep an ete on what our
government is doing by subscribing
to Agenda the free monthly publi­
cation of the Agency for Interna­
tional Development. The Food and
Agricultural Organization of the
United Nat1ons will also send you a
free monthly news-letter and pro­
vtdes access to a host of source
documents The Rockefeller Foun­
dation will send you its monthly
publication at no charge. Numerous
chuch groups provide Hunger
Awareness Packets tor use as edu-
cattonal tools perhaps one of
the best as the Inter-religious Task

I urge you to write to the
Presidential Commission on World
Hunger to secure a copy of their
upcoming report and recommenda­
tions And as you read that docu­
ment be very critical of the analysis
of the problem as well as the
proposed policy changes There
has been a considerable amount of
debate generated about the makeup
of the Commassion sance there is no
broad mlnonty representation . no
poor person. no small farmer. no
labor representatave, and not strong
advocate of alternative directions
Yet. there Is a great deal of talent
assembled and the Commiss1on is
following 1ts Presidential mandate
to develop opttons for improv1ng
the capac1ty of the United States to
reduce the problems of world
hunger and malnutrition .. As you
read that report you should also be
aware that the Commission, as
onglnally proposed by Harry Cha­
pin. was a Presidential Commtsston
on Domest1c and World Hunger.
President Carter and the majority of
Commasstoners have chosen to
focus primarily on hunger outside
the United State. thus refl~ting a
tact< of awareness about the con­
nection between domestic food and
land polictes and problems and the
international situation _ The Com­
mission should counter the "bread­
basket'" notton rather than reinforce
1t The need for a high degree of
food self reliance wlthtn poor coun­
tries and within var~ous regtons of
the U S should be stressed and

are too poor to buy enough formula

there 1s not enough fuel to boll the

t 1s est1mated by the World

You don't need to go very far
to mvolve yourself 1n thiS struggle.

Campbell soup. Swanson Frozen
01nners, V-8 Vegetable Juice,
Franoo-Amencan products. Peppe­
ndge Farm products . Granny's
Soups, Vlasic, Libby Products , and

You can take several actin
steps on the boycott. First of all,
you can personally boycott the
products and write the manufactur­
ers to tell them why. Secondly you
can encourage your fnends ·to do
the same Thirdly. you can meet
w1th Saga and the bookstore to
d1scuss an mstttuuonal bOycott of
these products
You can also recogmze t1 at
our own conspicuous consumpt1on

people. In the US, we (a collective

sume 40% of the non-renewable

Another often overlooked veht·
cte for posttlve change IS a letter to
your congressional leaders. TeU
them you are concerned and anx­
IOUS for the commen ts on the
Pres1dent1al Comm1ss1on report.
When they have voted positively on
I®1Siat1on whiCh addresses the root
~
causes of hunger, thank them
Legislators respond much more
favorably to complimen ts than they
do to crittc1sm But tf criticism is
legitimate . do that as well.
And finally, In your own
church, synagogue, or ctvic group,
work for support of hunger action.
There IS a part1cular challenge to
churches. because virtually every
church, at tts root, IS comm1tted to
valu1ng people and has played
some trad1t1onal role in teed1ng the
poor. This role can become the
doorway that leads to a new ktnd of
effort to change the very condittons
wh1ch create hunger in the first
place. Churches must become rad­
ical" In hvtng up to their comm1t
ment to JUStice and to creating a
soc1ety where everyone has ccess
to and control over the food needed
to hve; "rad1cal'' 1n not covertng up
what they know to be destruct1ve,
but m uncovenng just who does
benefit 'from society as we have 1t
now.
n all ot these areas, I urge you to
work tor change whiCh gets at
root causes and soc1etal struc­
tures wh1ch perpetuate the problem
ot poverty and 1ts major symptom •
.. hunger. You need to ask ques­
tions about structures of partlctpa­
tton, ownersh1p of maJor econom1c
•nshtut1ons , control of national
development patterns, the effecti­
veness ot people's organizations.
and structures of production and
employment
I also urge you to evaluate U.S
policy m the light of the follw1ng
cntena suggested by the Inter­
religiOUS Task Force on U.S. Food
Pohcy
1) Does the policy promote the
meet1ng of baSIC human needs
through equitable growth patterns?
2) Does the policy promote a more
equitable global order? 3) Does the pol1cy promote more
equ1table national orders?
4) Does the policy promote devel­
opment patterns that are ecologi­
cally sustainable?
These are large questions, but
as you analyze policy, they can
lead to some very spec1f1c po1nts
Of diSCUSSIOn .
And finally, lot me share w1th
you some s1gns of hope that we've
witnessed in the past few years
There has emerged a pene­
tratmg new analySIS of the causes
of hunger. Th1s new approach that
1 have described provides a loun­
datton lor a policy of act1on, on
national and International levels,
as we try to meet some of the
most immedia te and long-range
problems .
There IS mass commumcatton
of thiS new analysts to the general
public, and to political and other
leaders, through the printed word,
through hundreds of personal
appearances , and extensiVely v1a
radio and televiston .
There is a hunger movement
both here and abroad There are
tens of thousands of people In the
United State who are spendmg all
or a large part of their working
ltves toward fulfilling the dream of
endtng hunger. Networking and
mterconnecting are happening at
a faster pace each year. There 1s a
broadentng of the hunger move­
ment constituency The "End
Hunger .. dream crosses cruc1al
political, social, rehg1ous. and geo­
graphiC ltnes.
A strategy for political act1on
is emergmg Utilizing the new anal­
ysis and expanding commumca­
tlon, many of the previously
fragmented forces 1n the move­
ment have found a common base.
The move lor a Pres1dent1al Com­
miSSIOn on hunger is an example
of pos1tive political act1on
There is a quality of sptrtt In
so many of the people I have met
1n the hunger movement there IS a
power of love. a thtrst for tusttce,
and a healthy self-respect. People
are galvantzed to action on behalf
of others
II hunger Is an ISSUe that
bnngs us face-to-face with pam
and that greatest ol InJUStices , the
destruction of human lite, 1t can
also bnng us face-to-face with our
best and deepest selves.
