Delonghi Ceramic Heater

The food shortage problem worldwide is staring man straight in the eye now, in spite of the supposed modernization of almost everything in human life today. Why a problem as basic as food is again a problem throughout the world should challenge man's ingenuity now more than ever.

Until new discoveries in food production come up, it should be back to the basics and back to the farm today if we hope to see some solution to the food shortage problem now hugging the headlines in international TV and other media outlets. When people troop back to the countryside to help in producing food, they will need portable heaters for warmth at night especially in the colder countries of the world.

The big (over one billion) population of China in the 50's and 60's suffered yearly famines and starvation due to insufficient food production in the months before the winter season. At wintertime people in China in those years suffered and died from hunger, with no food to eat in subzero temperatures.

When the Communists under Mao Tse Tung took over power in the government, one of the first things they attended to was the problem of food. Their solution was a strict decree requiring all Chinese from the highest official in the land to the lowest citizen in the street requiring them to spend one week of their year in the farms and help in the production of food for everybody.

With more than one billion people doing work in the farms year-round, it did not take long for the whole country to have enough food for all people, and their yearly food shortage solved. Regardless of how certain democracies criticize Mao Tse Tung then, credit is due him for the solution to the food problem in his country. If not for him, and what he did for China and its over one billion people, food would have been a problem among the Chinese still up to this time.

Notice the quiet in China even if the whole world now is so noisy lamenting over the looming food shortages predicted to hit many countries shortly. It is because China has enough food for her people, with each one still contributing one week of farm labor during the year. Many of the Chinese now doing farm work yearly are enjoying the comfort of their delonghi ceramic heater when they bed down for the night. They have acquired enough means to afford the equipment, as China has become a richer country recently.

The world should emulate China in this regard, rather than just talk about the food problem. Maybe it is time for everyone around the globe to start moving in the direction of the farms and do his or her share in planting of food to stave off the feared food shortages and the food riots in the cities.

Leaders of all countries should start moves to come up with emergency food production programs. They themselves must set examples by bringing out their portable heaters previously just used in leisurely camping trips and start camping out in the farms to contribute their share of actual work in food production.
