Expensive Food

Well this doesn't seem to be a very interesting thing to blog about but this is something that has been going on in my mind for a while. There are a lot of restaurants around, some with international brands that make very simple food stuffs and charge a very huge amount for what they server.
The best example is pizza. It gets as exuberant as it can get for a loaf of bread and a very little amount of toppings on it. If one can shell out bucks to have a lunch in restaurants that serve stuff like these, it would easily cross the average monthly salary of an Indian farmer who actually breaks his back for growing wheat and vegetables in his farm. There are a lot of instances around the globe where farmers struggle very hard to get the minimum price for what they produce while there are people eating the same food shelling out hundreds of times more money. Are we deceiving ourselves by encouraging people who sell these exuberant food to us ?? Yes, absolutely !!
There are farmers across Africa who just cannot sell their products because of cheap dumps from rich countries, there are farmers across India dying of hunger only because they cannot get the right price for what they have produced after breaking their backs in the burning sun. All this happens while the rich sit in luxurious restaurants paying thousands of bucks for simple luncheons while it is a courtesy to go half hungry even after paying so much in the restaurant.
Situation cannot change until people understand what they are doing and governments wake up to the conditions and seek ways to solve the inequalities between rich and poor, this also means rich countries and poor countries. It is a fact that all the rich countries that are now rich are rich at the expense of poor countries who cannot match the purchasing power or the production capacities of the richer countries. An instance could be drawn from what is happening to Italian furniture makers after the Chinese entered the market in a big way.
