A quick Oprah-bash. Plugging an Amazon staple food causes its price to rise up to sixty-fold so Americans can chow down on a nutrient-rich berry that FDA hasn’t issued an opinion on.
A couple of thoughts:
1. Hippies please feel free to rail against “globalisation”. Then please to stop using your Asian mobile phone and wearing those Indian/Egyptian/American cotton clothes. On second thought…
2. This is a classic “unintended consequence”. Oprah mouths off without thought to what the outcome might be. Still, if these people starve, she’ll get another programme out of it. Yay.
More Oprah to follow…
