MooPig Report from the Middle :: "CO2 is the Biggest threat to the Middle"

“Now I know I've got a heart because it is breaking. - Tin Man” (L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)

"For God so loved the World ..." this is how every Southern Baptists' boilerplate verse from the Bible; John 3:16, begins. What is not fully understood by all those evangelists is that God is not speaking of just the world of humans ... rather the Creator Almighty is speaking of all of creation of Earth, which might be fairer without the inclusion of humankind. It turns out, by all measurements of CO2 today, it is a big mistake to think otherwise.

While mega-turd politicians act confused about the Syrian front, there is a greater threat to American security.

The years should not gauze over how the world was conned into an awful conflict. To keep the water from rising we have to mandate a worldwide cut in Energy-related CO2 emissions by half by 2050 (compared with 2009) and continue to fall afterwards.



How Many Gigatons of CO2? | Information Is Beautiful:

'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
It is MooPig Wisdom's hope that you dear reader will find some helpful information starting with the chart and LINKs, graphs, statistics and numerical predictions on CO2, included in today's post. In our own search for answers we find terrifying warnings, and abominable shortcomings by countries.

Will anything be done to curb our self-destruction -- anything that is humanly possible? Apparently only an act of God will make the earth long-term-inhabitable by all creatures, and, things big and small. Is it only a test of humans' resolve? Hard to say for sure.

Let's pretend that humankind takes a backseat in destroying all its natural resources, and actually puts the environment in the driver's seat. And let's give it a date to be transformed: let's go with August 29th, 2045. I will be 90 years old and still poor. But by then will the earth's oceans cover many shorelines that existed in 2013?

The only thing that can survive fifty or a hundred years is a sovereign, focused, linear derived family unit; one that can invest right now outside the given rules, today, and reap their benefit in 2100, in tomorrow's long term. That brings to mind Rothschilds and those like them. They seem to have all the luck when putting the brakes on things magnanimous. It would be a shame to lose all of the earth and everything in it.

Will robber barons be the ones who finally step up and clear the air? I am holding my breath.

That's our concerns for this hour from the Middle -- where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are all above average.

MooPig Horse Bits :: "Eating Horse - A Modest Proposal"

Scooped by Pat Darnell  |  Feb 27, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

In our quest to be clever in the face of bombast, MooPig has recently stumbled upon a situation. Europeans have been mixing horse meat with their beef and selling it to the public to eat. And much of the horse meat comes from exported American horses.

We may be opening Pandora's lunchbox here, as beef shortages are reported, that Americans might have to start eating some horse themselves. Be warned.

What we are warning about is that Monsanto might have already purchased all the patents and copy rights on all horse meat. Yes, they are usually way ahead of the curve when it comes to malnutrition. Can horses be the new genetically modified meat source? And, when that source is depleted, what is next?

Jonathan Swift - A Modest Proposal: "”I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout. ...”"

Are nations looking for easy answers to complex problems? You bet they are. It's a classic tale, feed the poor with the poor, feed the rich with the poor... it's the circle of the rich, for the rich, by the rich.

I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children. (Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). LINK)

'via Blog this'

NEXT WEEK  :: The next big thing -- Australians are about to discover that they've been eating a combination of emu, roo, and lamb as "beef" for years -- which probably explains why Australian life expectancy is so much better than American, British or Canadian life expectancy. Eh?

MooPig Human Rights Update :: Feeding Intolerance: Prohibitions on Sharing Food with People Experiencing Homelessness

Retrieved by Pat Darnell  |  Feb 20, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

Some proponents of food sharing restrictions have argued that sharing food with people in outdoor locations enables them to remain homeless.

More likely, persons who receive food from outdoor food programs may remain homeless due to lack of affordable housing, shelter space, and services, or due to their struggles with physical or psychiatric disabilities or substance addiction.

Instead of removing food sources, cities would more likely reduce or end homelessness in their cities by finding solutions to the underlying causes of homelessness.

Framing sharing food as a factor in enabling people to remain homeless is misleading. Food is not an addiction; food is necessary for survival.

Depriving a person of food means that she must put all of her energy into obtaining food and less energy on improving other aspects of her life. Food sharing programs that reach out to those in public spaces may be the only way some homeless individuals can obtain healthy and safe food.

Feeding Intolerance: Prohibitions on Sharing Food with People Experiencing Homelessness: A Report by The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty and The National Coalition for the Homeless 15nov2007: "The right to food is a well-recognized human right. This basic human right is explicitly mentioned in the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and over 120 instruments of international law.

13 Twenty-two countries have included a right to food in their domestic constitutions.

14 As the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food has stated, a nation must refrain from taking “actions that result in increasing levels of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition.”

15 Food sharing restrictions deny homeless persons this basic human right. Placing restrictions on food sharing at a time where there is an increased need for housing and food assistance leaves many people with nowhere to turn for basic survival needs."

'via Blog this'
CONCLUSION
Make your own conclusions. As politicians try to invent lackey ways to deal with high density urban problems, like homelessness, those same politicians are diminishing your and my freedoms.

These laws to prohibit feeding the homeless on city streets come with hefty fines and prolonged visits to jail. It is personal, and in your face.

Having something to eat is a basic human right.

Austin Nutritional Therapy - Home: "Austin Nutritional Therapy --  Elaine DiRico, BA, NTP, FDN "

'via Blog this'

Do you need a Nutritionist?

Well, because the food on your menu is no longer the food of your youth, you might consider the ramifications of that stuff you are eating.

If you wake up and hear that food is becoming scarce in the world, you need a Nutritionist. If you hear that they are genetically fiddling with the foods you eat, you need Nutritionist. If your "doctor was unable to offer anything more than the standard advice on diet, ... narcotics for pain, and an anti-depressant; and these were not routes that you wanted to take ..." you need Elaine DiRico.

Here in Austin is the best one. Elaine DiRico is who you should correspond with about all your nutritional how's and why's.

" ... I have found my passion. There is nothing as satisfying as seeing someone whom you have worked with and come to care about become happier and healthier. I teach classes, I have learned to enjoy public speaking, I have met amazing people and my own health has never been better. Let’s call it a win-win ... "

I have had numerous conversations with Elaine, and she has not only coached me, but inspired me to get off my butt, and make this body of mine hum again.

Below is the reading list of Elaine's that lends her own nutritional goals.

MooPig Food Coroner :: "Foods You Will Not find"

Discontinued Foods
Gathered by Pat Darnell  |  Jan 28, 2013  |  Bryan TX

Jumpin’ Jack Cheese Doritos
Introduced to the world in a commercial by a hip, loose-tied Jay Leno leaning against a brick wall, Jumpin’ Jack Cheese Doritos were a big hit with Doritos lovers and snack aficionados. Tragically, the Monterey jack-flavored chips were discontinued for reasons unknown. Perhaps even more tragically, Jay Leno still has a TV career.

Detox Like Gwyneth and Cameron: 5 Steps to a Hot Body, Glowing Skin, and Radiant Health
Posted by Elizabeth on Monday, October 15th, 2012

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great time new years eve and are ready to start off 2013 with the BEST and healthiest start possible.

But let me ask you...

Are your pants a little tight after all that festive indulging this holiday season?

If so, now's the time to get rid of those extra pounds before they start adding up.

And there's no better way to do that then by cleaning out the toxins that have been accumulating
inside your body for years - without you even knowing it.

Did you know...

That your body has been accumulating toxins and storing them in your fat cells and nervous system
for years? Add in a few weeks of holiday festivities and you've just created a "toxic cocktail" inside your body.

Yes sir.

It's a sad and scary truth.

And there's a ton of research to back this up.

For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a program called the National
Human Adipose Tissue Survey (NHATS). In 1982 and again in 1987 it analyzed human fat samples from cadavers obtained throughout the country, looking for the types of toxins that accumulate in human fat.

Four industrial solvents and one dioxin were found in 100 percent of the fat samples.

NOTE: Dioxins have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage
the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.

Nine more chemicals, including three more dioxins and one furan (which has been shown to cause bile duct cancer in rats and liver cancer in mice) were found in more than 90 percent of the fat
samples.

In general, 83 percent of the fat samples contained PCBs (another cancer-causing agent commonly found in our world today).

WOW!

Talk about depressing right?

Well, thankfully there is good news. No matter how toxic-ally polluted your body is right now,
you CAN reverse the damage with a good internal cleaning using REAL food!

If you're feeling sluggish, under the weather, or are carrying unnecessary weight, then your
body's trying to tell you that a change is needed.

And I'm not talking about using dangerous weird laxatives or the latest Hollywood fad detox diet.

Finally, there's a solution that enables you to cleanse your body safely… with nothing more than FOOD.

That's right - real food…like some of the foods available at your grocery store each week.

Your going to eat anyways, so you might as well eat foods that will actually "fix" your health, right?

It's called the Total Wellness Cleanse and it was developed by Registered Holistic Nutritionist and
High Performance Health Coach, Yuri Elkaim.

Through his proprietary "food-powered" cleanse, he's helped thousands of men and women just like you lose fat, rid their bodies of deadly toxins, and rejuvenate their health. And there's
no better time than NOW - the beginning of January - for you to be next.

We all want to start the New Year with a bang. We all make commitments to eat better and
improve our health.

But many times these "resolutions" get flushed down the drain because we don't see results or
don't have a proper plan to follow.

At last, you have a fully-guided and easy-to-follow program that you will help you keep your health resolutions.

And right now - because it's the beginning of the new year - Yuri is giving you a $100 discount
on his Total Wellness Cleanse…

 How to REVERSE toxin damage in your body (lose fat and feel great!)

When I first heard about Yuri's approach I was a bit skeptical, because of the bad reputation that some dishonest companies have given to the word "cleanse".

But I was amazed when I started hearing about the incredible (and fast) changes his clients were
experiencing within a few days of following the program.

For example…

Kristine from San Diego lost more than a pound per day for the first week, and said the Total Wellness Cleanse was "The most life-changing decision I've ever made for myself!"

Another of his clients from Ridgebury, Connecticut - Jennifer - lost 10 pounds, inches
from her waist, and started getting comments that her skin was looking radiant.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Plus, Yuri's got another special BONUS for you today when you check out his site below.

 Total Wellness Cleanse $100 Discount + Special BONUS

This is what you were missing LAST January.

MooPig Solutions Department :: "2008 Copenhagen Consensus"

Review of World's Best Solutions 2008
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Dec 30, 2012 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

The Top Ten Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems - Reason.com: "Copenhagen, May 30, 2008 Ronald Bailey — " ... Where in the world can we do the most good? Supplying the micronutrients vitamin A and zinc to 80 percent of the 140 million children who lack them in developing countries is ranked as the highest priority by the expert panel at the Copenhagen Consensus 2008 Conference. The cost is $60 million per year, yielding benefits in health and cognitive development of over $1 billion."

'via Blog this'

The tasks of solving problems requires developing economies of developing countries to play leap frog. For instance, " ... proposals to reduce outdoor air pollution in developing country cities by installing technologies to cut the emissions of particulates from diesel vehicles. Other ... solutions included a tobacco tax, improved stoves to reduce indoor air pollution, and extending microfinance. ... "

The leap frog tactic would allow developing economies to start with 'state-of-the-art' technologies at the beginning of their development, thus leap frog over the existing problematic carbon spewing technologies. China could start building low emission automobiles from the start, and bypass wasteful years of making carbon cannon cars.

Those are lofty installations. In most installations of new technology, the cost is recovered over twenty to ninety years in returns on investing in the welfare of developing countries. In other words, each solution is evaluated on its initial cost, usually in billions, and its return on investment.

" ... In fact, the climate change analysis presented to the panel found that spending $800 billion until 2100 would yield just $685 billion in climate change benefits. (Ronald Bailey | May 30, 2008. HERE) ... "

Whereas, " ... [e]ight leading economists, including five Nobelists, were asked to prioritize 30 different proposed solutions to ten of the world's biggest problems... " this included problems with balanced distribution of the world's remaining resources. (ibid.)

Each solution, or opportunity, posted in the chart above could be historically a reason for war. Epidemics, migrations, trade deficits, regional catastrophe, and starvation all have caused war in our first 12,000 years of recorded history. What makes this era different? [Chart Source LINK]

Also, we still have a thousand year history of boom/bust cycles in economy. It is still going on. Japan has been in a bust cycle now for twenty-five years, although they say it is just a recession. Our USA has ceased being a developing economy, and now is in a twenty year period of "stagflation;" a term used in economics to describe a situation where an inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows down, and unemployment remains steadily high. (wiki)

Hopefully the developing economies can 'leap frog' over and past those hurdles we 'developed' economies now wallow in.

MooPig FWD Email :: Coach JOSH -- Holidays' Carb Watch

Today's guest article from nutritionist Josh Bezoni explores a type of carbohydrate that most people are consuming in very large quantities and don't ever think about the harmful effects on their health... As you can see from the information below, not only does this carb add excess abdominal fat to your body, but it can cause health problems that can lead to premature death. It's time we all take this seriously instead of something to joke about...

The #1 WORST Carb EVER
By Nutritionist, Josh Bezoni

And the #1 worst carb ever is…(drum roll please)

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Although high fructose corn syrup (called HFCS and “corn sugar”) may sound healthy, it actually is anything but. This dirt cheap, chemically-altered sweetener shuts down leptin, a fat-regulating hormone in your body that is responsible for sending “hunger signals” from your stomach to your brain.

Essentially leptin lets you know when you’re full. And when your brain doesn’t get the message, you keep eating and eating and eating while the manufacturers of high fructose corn syrup, and the products that contain it, keep making more and more and more money.

Here’s an example from a recent study. Test subjects were divided into two groups—one was given a glucose (sugar) beverage to add to their diet, while the other group was given a beverage containing high fructose corn syrup to add to their diets. While both test groups gained weight, the group consuming high fructose corn syrup packed on intra-abdominal fat (or belly fat).

Why is that so startling?

It’s because this particular kind of fat causes diabetes and heart disease. So, not only is high fructose corn syrup causing you to eat more than you should, it is literally putting your health at risk.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average American consumes 42 pounds of HFCS a year. That’s more than 75,000 empty calories that have no nutritional value! What’s more, teenagers are consuming 15 to 20 teaspoons of HFCS a day when they need to be eating nutrient-dense foods for growth and lifelong health.

It’s no wonder that The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that HFCS use increased by 4,000% between 1970 and 1990. The manufacturers of HFCS really are cashing in big… just like drug dealers… while America is adding belly fat at a very dangerous rate.

Speaking of a drug, have you ever indulged in a sweet dessert that just wouldn’t fill you up no matter how much you ate? One of those treats that you have no self-control over, like, oh, I don’t know… maybe soft drinks, fruit juices, energy drinks, ice cream, pudding, jellies, most “fat-free” foods, chocolate, crackers, cereals, syrups, candies, or desserts? If that’s the case, you may want to check out the food label. Chances are it contains a large amount of high fructose corn syrup.

And remember, on American food labels ingredients are listed in order of the most abundant to the least. So if, for example, you see HFCS listed anywhere in the first five ingredients, that’s very bad. Instead, you’ll want to choose a version that doesn’t contain HFCS at all.

As an alternative to HFCS, I recommend the new zero- or low-calorie sweeteners like truvia™, Z-Sweet®, and Sun Crystals™ that are made with natural sources, such as erythritol and stevia. You can find these at most grocery stores. These natural sweeteners can be used instead of sugar packets in your hot beverages, on oatmeal, and even in baked goods to some extent.



Erythritol is an all-natural, zero-calorie sweetener that is fermented from sugars and found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. It has very little calories, no glycemic impact, and is only slightly sweeter than real sugar. It is also recognized as safe by the FDA.

Other sugar alcohols (such as xylitol or maltitol) frequently are blamed for side effects like gas and diarrhea when people overdo sugar-free treats. However, erythritol is absorbed before it reaches the large intestine, so it does not normally cause these digestive effects.

In the U.S., the granular form is marketed under the name Z-Sweet® and found in other natural sweeteners including Sun Crystals™ (which is a mixture of erythritol and raw cane sugar so it’s not zero-calorie) and truvia™ (which contains a mixture of erythritol and stevia).

Stevia rebaudiana is a leaf that first gained popularity in South America as a no-calorie, natural sweetener with a sweetness that is 30-45 times greater than that of table sugar. It’s been used all over the world for years as a safe, natural no-calorie sweetener.

After a long debate (which many people believe was due to the chemical sweetener industry trying to block it), it’s been approved for use in the United States. You can find stevia under the names PureVia™, SweetLeaf™, and mixed with erythritol in truvia™.

It’s important to remember that you should use all sugar alternatives, even natural ones, sparingly. Let your body learn that it doesn’t need sweets all the time to be satisfied, and you’ll be on the fast track to better health.

Now, while High Fructose Corn Syrup just may be the #1 worst carb ever, does that mean you should be avoiding ALL carbohydrates? Absolutely not! Carbs aren’t the enemy, just like fat isn’t…these nutrients are a healthy part of any wholesome fat-burning diet.

But what if you could easily increase your carbohydrate tolerance to ensure that the carbs you eat get shuttled toward muscle to be used as energy instead of deposited on your hips, thighs, butt, and love handles?

Well you can, with the most cutting-edge insulin sensitivity and blood sugar management formula ever developed, IC-5, which contains 5 very unique herbal ingredients that help to control blood sugar and insulin response to ingested carbs. And IC-5 is so simple to use… just take 2 capsules 15-minutes before any carb-containing meal and you’ll be well on your way to processing the carbs you eat...the right way.

... IC-5 LINK ...

What's more, I know many of our readers will be stocking up on the maximum number of bottles of IC-5™ today (which is 6), during this one-time special, and we're already getting close to being SOLD OUT.

Don't fall victim to packing on another 10 pounds this holiday season. Get everything you need to know about IC-5™ ...

To your success,
Coach Josh

Retrieved by Pat Darnell  |  May 31, 2011  |  Bryan TX

" ... U.S. food aid to North Korea was suspended more than two years ago [2009] after Pyongyang would not allow an increase in the number of Korean-speaking monitors. They were meant to ensure the food was reaching those most in need rather than being diverted to the military or the elite."

North Korea In Desperate Need Of Food Aid: "In both the United States and South Korea there is a divide about the ramifications of providing such aid to the reclusive communist country.

Those favoring food aid say it could encourage an opening of the country or prompt concessions from Pyongyang on nuclear or humanitarian issues. Those opposed contend that denying the assistance to such a repressive country could help hasten the government’s collapse.

ICG analyst Pinkston doubts either option would prove to be a catalyst."

The lesson here is if you want to be the communist half of your country, you might consider choosing the southern half of the boundaries. It is the same here in the USA, all the socialists inhabit the Northern half of the country; rugged individualism survives in the South. It is a growing divisive issue worldwide, as the Global South is attacked by starving communist corporate dog-asses who would turn food production into a colossal automaton mess. Food and Water supplies will force new boundaries all over the world, especially in North and South Korea. [Read Entire Article HERE]

Food Sovereignty [SOURCE]
Eric Holt Gimenez

March 2010 retrieved by Pat Darnell : Where recorded: Seattle, WA   ::   Date recorded: 30 Nov 2009

"Food is the weak link that brought down earlier civilizations," says author Lester Brown. And it could bring our own civilization down if we continue with business as usual.

We are entering a new food era, one marked by higher prices, growing numbers of hungry people, and an intensifying competition for land and water. A record number of Americans are now living on food stamps.

Among the factors responsible for the crisis are the policies of a handful of transnational agri-food monopolies and the use of grain to produce fuel for cars.

The sharp climb in grain prices in the last few years underlines the gravity of the situation. The global cost of wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans has roughly tripled, reaching historic highs.

What are the alternatives? Local communities and international social movements are promoting sustainable agriculture and food sovereignty.

Presentation by Eric Holt Gimenez
Eric Holt-Gimenez is the executive director of FoodFirst/Institute for Food and Development Policy. He is the author of "Campesino a Campesino: Voices from Latin America's Farmer to Farmer Movement" and co-author with Raj Patel of "Food Rebellions! Crisis and the Hunger for Justice."

• BIO-FUELS cane, palm, and, corn by iNDUStrial food production
• Renewable energy tagets ethanol

New demand for those bio fuel crosses food stuffs at that point due to reduction in wheat, and grain supplies. For example the Arthur Daniels Midlands ... hoarding reserves led to tortilla crisis in Mexico. It is a loss of common sense about food production, sort of a perturbation due to twisted thinking.

Nations facing hunger crisis's is due to vulnerable food system is most often measured in FIVE major crops controled by Megla -Industrial Agri Foods Complex such as:

• large Monsanto Genetics
• GMO seed storage that didn't happen over nite
• Green Revolution of 1960 between Global North versus Global South

Supposed redundancy in genetic manipulation of seeds in our recent past is in error. The conclusion has destroyed food supplies by altering crops through planting Agri bio diversity. It turns out, collected seed to make hybrid HY[D] High Yield crops ... pushes peasants out of their fertile fields. Peasants can not afford the food they themselves have planted.

The most damage occurred when extension of the farm was destroyed by Green Revolution 1960 thru 1980.

Had it worked it would have balanced supplies of food throughout the world but instead produced hungry people and saved some groups... equaled out. For example 11 percent had more food while hunger went up 11 percent as they are forced off their land to postage stamp properties and washed out escarpments.

This Corporate food regime, driven by world bank, and WMF imposed an evolutionary tangent that followed EArl Butz who says: "Get big or get out." Led to over production and the banks foreclosed on properties.

How did the Monies groups destroy food supplies? "This is my [Eric Holtz Gimenez] answer:
Monetary funders said stop growing food and grow exported crops because you need money, dismantle your tariffs... tear them down... get rid of grain reserves ...reserves stabilize prices... "

High prices makes USA and nations of the global South vulnerable. WMF and free trade... or food from global market ..... is no longer from countries of the global south.

Third step to make food supplies FAIL? -- WTO, Nafta, and Kafta, have cemented agriculture into treaties.... Results -- Food Industrial complex is

• highest polluter
• taints water
• imports are increased
• varieties are left to rot in seed banks... losing global heritage
• credit to plant company seeds in the franchise....
• diplacement of peasantry 
• Anecdote goes like this -- "... average age of farmer in US is 60" while in ten years the average age of the farmer will be 'DEAD'"

Thus, farmers are out of work, with concentration of profits BUNGE [Bunge's Food Ingredients division is a global business with operations in North and South America, Europe and India.], Monsanto, while a study is made: GMO will save world from hunger. The study is 400 scientists.... and four years later ... food production vs hunger [Trade and Food Production] results were not supportive of GMO "genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering..." (wkpda)

GMO 's are not effective.... the seeds are not higher yielding... meanwhile back at the ranch "... intrinsic Bill Gates joins offices with Monsanto to make free stuff.. [Doomsday Seed Vault] in an unholy union.. to further the ambivalence of megla-industrial food complexes ... have resulted in unpredictable results because of disruptive industry genetic study instead of dirt farmer finding the answer.....

For instance: "... drought resistant corn only grows when there is a draught [Eric H Gimenez]..."
The Gates Foundation [HERE] with a whopping $34.6 billion endowment and a legal necessity to spend $1.5 billion a year on charitable projects around the world to maintain its tax free charitable status. No project is more interesting at the moment than a curious project in one of the world’s most remote spots, Svalbard. Bill Gates is investing millions in a seed bank on the Barents Sea near the Arctic Ocean, some 1,100 kilometers from the North Pole. Svalbard is a barren piece of rock claimed by Norway and ceded in 1925 by international treaty (see map).
World Bank report on agriculture say the north benefits in liberalized trade, while the study was made to support the opposite result. The speaker Mr Gimenez suggests "Africa Union should not sign the free trade agreement ...."
