Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.42,0:02:12.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I'm trying to understand

Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.56,0:02:19.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we've been made to believe

Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.33,0:02:48.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we now see that maybe \Nhunger and obesity,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.12,0:02:51.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could be connected to this fact
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.58,0:02:54.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there's a bifurcated agricultural \Nsystem around the planet.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.72,0:02:56.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Where did this come from?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.62,0:03:00.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It actually came around the same time\NI came onto the planet, 1980.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.34,0:03:02.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, something kind of weird \Nhappened in 1980
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.76,0:03:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that led to that graph of obesity\Nthat we all see today.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.26,0:03:08.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It pretty much starts with 1980.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.87,0:03:11.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, what changed?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.25,0:03:14.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Something changed that \Nfundamentally shifted dinner.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.21,0:03:16.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I argue that in the 70's oil crisis,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.12,0:03:23.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of changes came out of that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.28,0:03:25.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the biggest changes\Nwas a massive loss

Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.63,0:03:30.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We lost a million farmers\Nright around 1980.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.71,0:03:33.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But other interesting things\Nhappened in 1980.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.01,0:03:35.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Genetically modified crops \Nbecame patentable
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.24,0:03:38.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,according to a Supreme Court \Ndecision in 1980.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.72,0:03:45.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We started to divest \Nin agriculture internationally.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.63,0:03:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So since 1980, we've shifted away\Nfrom agricultural development
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.99,0:03:53.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and towards food aid \Nby measure of about 75 percent.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.40,0:03:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we also stopped investing in \Nagricultural systems in our own country,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.74,0:04:07.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also since 1980, the data is very clear,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.52,0:04:11.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hunger has increased by 80 million people.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.74,0:04:20.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this other problem \Nhas obviously appeared.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.26,0:04:34.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what we eat is an absolute \Noutcome of what we grow.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.14,0:04:35.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because we have such preponderance

Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.55,0:04:39.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we subsidize it.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.47,0:04:50.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, if we can see that data alone,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.28,0:04:52.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can tell obviously \Nthat our global food system
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.80,0:04:54.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has changed quite dramatically.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.86,0:04:58.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other weird part of the food system\Nthat no one likes to talk about
