Germany is collecting food for starving Americans. The text on the video is something like this:
She lives with limited access to wholesome food. Her poor diet can lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and costly dependence on the government. 49 millions of Americans suffer from food insecurity. They want more, than just food. Some people want change. America needs Germany's help. Now.
The reason is given at the end of the video., on which Germany should help the United States. In Germany, there are problems with food 6% the population, in the USA - 20%. Here is the organization's website, that raises money for starving Americans:https://greatnationseat.org/The program has been operating since 2015 of the year. Quoting from an article:https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/great-nations-eat-launches-unprecedented-billion-impression-media-campaign-in-2015-to-transform-the-conversation-around-hunger-in-america-300104454.html
“If the problem of hunger in America was only about charity or money, it would have already been decided.”, added by Tom Colicchio, chef and executive producer of "Seats at the Table". "If you look at public health issues, which the government decided before, such as yellow fever and cholera, are problems, which we thought were just crises of the poor, problems of the inner city. Like a great nation, we decided to end them, and we did it. Hunger affects one in six Americans...if you're on a crowded subway in New York, likely, hungry people sitting next to you; they are from your community, you may know them".
Fundraising for starving Americans is underway, in particular, on Facebook, on twitter, on YouTube:https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7PO1/great-nations-eat-germany-for-americaThe matter is not limited to Germany alone, help Americans and other prosperous countries. here, eg, video, designed for a Chinese audience:
The text is a little different., but the point is the same - 50 millions of Americans are starving, many cannot afford healthy food. China, help America. I guess, from our side, - by the Russians, - it would be a shame to stay away. We have a moral duty to the USA. The Americans helped us out many times in the hungry Soviet years. Maxim Gorky wrote, that ARA alone saved several million Soviet citizens from death. A humanitarian aid from the United States also came to us during the transition period of the nineties. I remember, like in about 1993 rations were handed out in St. Petersburg, and how surprised me then a huge can of powdered milk. Americans helped us for a whole decade. here, eg, from an article on Lenta of September 1999:https://lenta.ru/news/1999/09/29/food_aid/
Russia asks the US for some more foodThe United States received an official request from Russia for additional food aid this year, US Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman said in Washington. According to RIA “news”, this request is currently being studied by the American side. The Glickman statement emphasizes, that the US government's response to a request for additional food assistance would depend on, How successful will the current program of deliveries of American grain and products to Russia be?.
Now, thanks to sanctions and capitalism, Russian agriculture is on the rise, we also export grain, and meat, and confectionery, and much more. We can help starving Americans and, sure, if you announce a fundraiser on TV, a lot of Russians, - starting with me, - take part in the program.
