<p>I &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; some trouble forming sentences, &#097;&#110;&#100; words get lost or mixed &#117;&#112; &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; I write. Reading out loud is always difficult, &#098;&#117;&#116; not &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; I&#039;m reading in &#109;&#121; head. Numbers are really hard. Is this nothing, or is &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; to it?</p>
<p>well is usually numbers &#121;&#111;&#117; &#099;&#097;&#110;&#116; recognize them properly or &#121;&#111;&#117; mix &#117;&#112; numbers &#097;&#110;&#100; letters &#097;&#110;&#100; writting &#097;&#110;&#100; &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; left &#097;&#110;&#100; right &#097;&#110;&#100; &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#121;&#111;&#117; are talking &#121;&#111;&#117; mix &#117;&#112; the words.</p>
<p>You might need to take the test. &#105;&#102; your are in school, talk to your student advisor &#111;&#102; counseler. &#105;&#102; not, &#116;&#114;&#121; asking your local adult education center.</p>
<p>probably &#115;&#111;&#8230;.im not &#097; doctor &#115;&#111; goto the eye doctor&#8230;&#098;&#117;&#116; yeah &#105;&#116;&#115; quit &#112;&#111;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#098;&#108;&#101;!!!</p>
<p>You find it difficult to read &#097;&#110;&#100; &#121;&#111;&#117; mix &#117;&#112; pronunciation &#111;&#102; two words &#097;&#110;&#100; some cases different letters. &#121;&#111;&#117; always get tongue-tangled. </p>
<p> &#105;&#102; this is &#097; regular &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;, &#121;&#111;&#117; need to &#115;&#101;&#101; &#097; specialist.</p>
<p> Cure is no less than regular therapy.</p>
<p>When reading &#121;&#111;&#117; read the words backwards or out &#111;&#102; &#112;&#108;&#097;&#099;&#101;. &#121;&#111;&#117; &#099;&#097;&#110; get help in learning to deal &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; this &#098;&#117;&#116; &#121;&#111;&#117; &#109;&#117;&#115;&#116; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; patience.</p></p>

<p>Hunger is &#097; disease; starvation is its extreme form. Hunger can lead to starvation; starvation to death. Obvious, &#110;&#111;?</p>
<p>Some symptoms &#111;&#102; hunger I&#8217;m experiencing: sleeplessness; irritability (also occasional patience &#097;&#110;&#100; gentleness, obviously not &#098;&#097;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115;, but see &#8220;weakness&#8221;); stomach cramping &#097;&#110;&#100; other gastrointestinal symptoms; general achiness; headache; loss &#111;&#102; cognition (that is, I &#115;&#101;&#101;&#109; stupider than usual, &#101;&#120;&#099;&#101;&#112;&#116; for when I feel more insightful, insightfulness that &#109;&#097;&#121; &#098;&#101; delusional); hyperosmia (fancy word for &#8220;extremely sensitive to smells&#8221; &#8212; both good &#097;&#110;&#100; bad); exhaustion (see &#8220;sleeplessness&#8221;); weakness; distraction (extreme, not like checking &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; e-mail &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; minute); distraction (did I &#115;&#097;&#121; that?); lethargy; weight loss (I &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119;, you&#8217;&#114;&#101; envious, but obviously this can &#103;&#111; too far). &#097;&#110;&#100; &#097; &#100;&#105;&#102;&#102;&#101;&#114;&#101;&#110;&#116; kind &#111;&#102; distraction: &#116;&#104;&#101; near-constant thought &#111;&#102; food.</p>
<p>I &#097;&#109; on &#109;&#121; fourth &#8212; &#097;&#110;&#100; last! &#8212; day &#111;&#102; fasting, &#097;&#110;&#100; I&#8217;m &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; much aware &#111;&#102; &#097;&#108;&#108; &#111;&#102; this. I have those symptoms. I&#8217;m tired today; &#116;&#104;&#101; thing &#103;&#111;&#116; &#100;&#105;&#102;&#102;&#101;&#114;&#101;&#110;&#116;. Walking &#100;&#111;&#119;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; street I&#8217;m slower than &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#121;&#111;&#110;&#101; &#101;&#108;&#115;&#101;, &#097;&#110;&#100; breathless. (Imagine working, or &#108;&#111;&#111;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; for work, in this state.) It&#8217;s &#110;&#111; longer &#097; game, although as I said in &#109;&#121; post yesterday, I &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119; that I&#8217;ll eat &#109;&#121; fill tomorrow. I&#8217;m &#116;&#114;&#117;&#108;&#121; hungry; I&#8217;m not starving.True hunger is not &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; &#097; feeling, but &#097;&#110; insufficient intake &#111;&#102; energy (calories) &#097;&#110;&#100; nutrients. &#097;&#108;&#108; obvious. Hunger is not &#8220;I need something to eat,&#8221; but &#097; disease, or at &#108;&#101;&#097;&#115;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101; precursor to &#116;&#104;&#101; disease starvation. It &#104;&#097;&#115; &#097; cure &#097;&#110;&#100; &#097; &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101;. &#116;&#104;&#101; cure, as &#119;&#101; &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119;, is nutritious food. &#116;&#104;&#101; &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101;, as &#119;&#101; &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119;, is &#097; lack &#111;&#102; same. Obvious.</p>
<p>What &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#101; lack? Imprisonment, torture, being stranded on &#097; desert island, anorexia, crop failure … &#097;&#110;&#100; both &#097; lack &#111;&#102; aid &#097;&#110;&#100; &#098;&#097;&#100; distribution &#111;&#102; nutrients. &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; (or much) &#111;&#102; both &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; last two stem &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; unregulated capitalism &#097;&#110;&#100; greed. &#098;&#097;&#100; distribution is causing roughly 15 percent &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; world to &#098;&#101; overweight &#097;&#110;&#100; 15 percent &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; world to &#098;&#101; hungry. &#116;&#104;&#101; amount &#111;&#102; grain being fed to industrially raised livestock in &#116;&#104;&#101; United States alone is &#101;&#110;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; to alleviate much &#105;&#102; not &#097;&#108;&#108; &#111;&#102; world hunger.</p>
<p>The cost to &#116;&#104;&#101; United States &#111;&#102; extending &#116;&#104;&#101; Bush tax cuts for &#116;&#104;&#101; wealthy for &#111;&#110;&#101; year &#8211; this is only &#111;&#110;&#101; &#101;&#120;&#097;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;, there are dozens &#111;&#102; &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#115; &#8212; is $42 billion; &#116;&#104;&#101; U.N.&#8217;s World Food Program spent $1.25 billion last year. &#116;&#104;&#101; estimated cost &#111;&#102; obesity-related diseases in &#116;&#104;&#101; United States alone is $150 billion annually; at &#108;&#101;&#097;&#115;&#116; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; &#111;&#102; that money &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#098;&#101; saved by reducing &#116;&#104;&#101; consumption &#111;&#102; soda &#097;&#110;&#100; other junk food &#097;&#110;&#100; industrially produced meat, &#097;&#108;&#108; &#111;&#102; &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; disease, directly or indirectly. &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101; grain that&#8217;s &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; to produce &#097;&#108;&#108; &#111;&#102; that &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; alleviate hunger. (Ethanol is &#097; whole other issue, as are diet &#097;&#110;&#100; health care costs, both &#111;&#102; &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; I&#8217;ll get to; not today.) For more on this, see Stuffed &#097;&#110;&#100; Starved, &#116;&#104;&#101; &#103;&#114;&#101;&#097;&#116; Raj Patel&#8217;s book.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m ambivalent &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; our intervention in Libya, but it&#8217;s cost us &#097; billion dollars &#115;&#111; far. &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114; you think &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; our &#8220;interventions&#8221; in Afghanistan &#097;&#110;&#100; Iraq, &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; have cost us &#097; trillion dollars. &#116;&#104;&#101; World Food Program says it can feed &#097; kid &#097; day for &#097; quarter, &#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; undoubtedly &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; &#119;&#101;&#108;&#108; &#101;&#110;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; to ward &#111;&#102;&#102; starvation. &#105;&#102; you allowed &#097; $1.50 &#097; day for &#097; hungry person &#8212; &#116;&#104;&#101; cost &#111;&#102; &#097; soda, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; above &#116;&#104;&#101; poverty level, &#097;&#099;&#099;&#111;&#114;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103; to &#116;&#104;&#101; World Bank &#8212; you &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; feed &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; &#111;&#110;&#101; &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; world&#8217;s starving &#097;&#110;&#100; hungry for more than two years for &#097; trillion dollars. Bombs or butter? (Peanut butter, &#109;&#097;&#121;&#098;&#101;.) <strong></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll stop now, &#097;&#110;&#100; provide &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; I hope are &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; interesting observations &#097;&#110;&#100; links &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; &#109;&#121; work this week, &#097; week I&#8217;ll &#098;&#101; grateful to see end; I&#8217;m not &#097; &#8220;&#116;&#104;&#097;&#110;&#107; God it&#8217;s Friday&#8221; person, but this week is &#100;&#105;&#102;&#102;&#101;&#114;&#101;&#110;&#116;.</p>
<p>Here are &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; more detailed statistics on global hunger &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; &#116;&#104;&#101; U.N. World Food Program; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; estimate that 98 percent &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; world&#8217;s hungry means that to &#097; &#103;&#114;&#101;&#097;&#116; extent &#116;&#104;&#101; programs designed to prevent or alleviate hunger in &#116;&#104;&#101; United States are working. (Why would &#119;&#101; not &#119;&#097;&#110;&#116; that to continue?) &#116;&#104;&#101; first question on &#116;&#104;&#101; U.N.’s Hunger FAQ page is, “Is there &#097; food shortage in &#116;&#104;&#101; world?” &#116;&#104;&#101; answer: “There is &#101;&#110;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; food in &#116;&#104;&#101; world today for &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#121;&#111;&#110;&#101; to have &#116;&#104;&#101; nourishment necessary for &#097; healthy &#097;&#110;&#100; productive life.” This I discussed &#097; bit above, but it &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; brings in &#116;&#104;&#101; issue &#111;&#102; food waste, &#097; topic to &#098;&#101; explored at length &#097;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; time, &#097;&#110;&#100; that extends &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; large-scale production to our own refrigerators.</p>
<p>Worldwide, much food is supplied by rural smallholder farmers (who themselves &#109;&#097;&#121; &#103;&#111; hungry). When governments or corporations &#098;&#117;&#121; up or lease &#104;&#117;&#103;&#101; amounts &#111;&#102; land in developing countries to ensure &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; future food security (or, equally likely, simply to make &#097; profit) &#116;&#104;&#101; small farmers are &#112;&#117;&#116; even more at risk. Here’s &#097; site that collects news &#115;&#116;&#111;&#114;&#105;&#101;&#115; &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; land grabs &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; impact.</p>
<p>The 50 million Americans who don’t have consistent access to food are called &#8220;food insecure.&#8221; Here are &#116;&#104;&#101; USDA’s most recent stats on food insecurity, along with &#097;&#110; older Washington Post article by Charles Lane that questions &#116;&#104;&#101; USDA’s methodology; it&#8217;s worth reading. Food insecurity &#099;&#101;&#114;&#116;&#097;&#105;&#110;&#108;&#121; exists; something like &#111;&#110;&#101; in &#102;&#111;&#117;&#114; families runs &#111;&#117;&#116; &#111;&#102; food sometime during &#116;&#104;&#101; month. &#097;&#110;&#100; even &#105;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; &#8220;real&#8221; number is &#108;&#111;&#119;&#101;&#114;, it&#8217;s still too much, &#097;&#110;&#100; it&#8217;s &#097; good thing that &#119;&#101; fight it with &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; success.</p>
<p>But food insecurity is not &#116;&#104;&#101; same thing as hunger. &#098;&#105;&#108;&#108; Abrams, who runs &#116;&#104;&#101; terrific anti-poverty agency Trickle Up, was telling me &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; &#8220;&#116;&#104;&#101; hungry season,&#8221; &#116;&#104;&#101; time &#111;&#102; year in agricultural communities where food simply runs &#111;&#117;&#116;; people forage wherever &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; can, &#108;&#111;&#111;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103;, for &#101;&#120;&#097;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;, for rice in anthills. (If &#109;&#121; fast were involuntary I would &#112;&#114;&#111;&#098;&#097;&#098;&#108;&#121; &#098;&#101;&#103;&#105;&#110; foraging today.) &#116;&#104;&#101; Times&#8217;s Nick Kristof &#104;&#097;&#115; written &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; hunger &#8212; &#097;&#110;&#100; charity &#8212; brilliantly &#097;&#110;&#100; extensively, &#111;&#102; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#115;&#101;.</p>
<p>Finally, &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; more &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; voluntary food restriction: David Beckmann, &#116;&#104;&#101; wonderful man who &#103;&#111;&#116; me &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; this mess, &#116;&#111;&#108;&#100; me on &#116;&#104;&#101; phone yesterday that he was &#8220;incredulous&#8221; at &#8220;how I was doing this &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#116; praying.&#8221; (I said I did it by working.) &#097;&#110;&#100; it&#8217;s true that &#116;&#104;&#101; history &#111;&#102; fasting is tied closely to religion (and not &#115;&#111; much to &#116;&#104;&#101; currently trendy &#8220;cleansing&#8221;). Mark Oppenheimer wrote recently in &#116;&#104;&#101; Times &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; fasting as &#097; &#119;&#097;&#121; to get closer to God. (One comment on this: &#8220;vegetable broth &#097;&#110;&#100; smoothies&#8221; &#109;&#097;&#121; &#098;&#101; &#097; diet, but it&#8217;s not &#097; fast; &#097; billion people would happily live on vegetable broth &#097;&#110;&#100; smoothies. Smoothies!) Here is more &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; religious leaders I’ve been talking to &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#101; &#112;&#097;&#115;&#116; week. &#119;&#101; agree &#117;&#112;&#111;&#110; this: HR1, &#116;&#104;&#101; proposed budget, must &#098;&#101; fought.</p>
<p>Note that it&#8217;s Lent, &#097;&#110;&#100; soon to &#098;&#101; Passover, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; means that many Americans are voluntarily restricting &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; diets right now. Longer term, &#109;&#121; hope is that we&#8217;ll see increasing numbers &#111;&#102; people recognizing &#116;&#104;&#101; secular benefits not &#111;&#102; fasting &#8212; &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; I can &#116;&#101;&#108;&#108; you is pretty extreme &#8212; but &#111;&#102; relaxed food-related self-discipline, represented by flexitarianism, by &#116;&#104;&#101; Meatless Monday campaign, &#097;&#110;&#100; by &#109;&#121; own (perhaps badly named) crusade for “less-meatarianism”, &#097;&#108;&#108; &#111;&#102; &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; can have positive effects on &#116;&#104;&#101; environment, on our personal health &#097;&#110;&#100; on world hunger.</p>
<p>For &#116;&#104;&#101; record, I&#8217;m &#110;&#111; closer to God now than I was on Sunday. (Still, I&#8217;m thinking &#111;&#102; wearing &#097; What Would Jesus &#099;&#117;&#116;? bracelet.) &#116;&#104;&#101; closest experience to fasting, in &#109;&#121; life, is running marathons. There is &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; spirituality in both but &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116;&#108;&#121; suffering, &#097;&#110;&#100; you get &#111;&#117;&#116; &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115; &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; you expect. I expected to learn &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115;, &#097;&#110;&#100; I have. &#116;&#104;&#101; most important ones are affirmations &#111;&#102; &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; I &#097;&#108;&#114;&#101;&#097;&#100;&#121; knew: &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; &#111;&#102; us eat more (and worse) than &#119;&#101; need to. &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#115; eat less (and worse) than &#119;&#101; need to. It will &#098;&#101; &#097; struggle to fix this, but there are solutions, &#097;&#110;&#100; they&#8217;&#114;&#101;, &#119;&#101;&#108;&#108;, obvious.</p></p>
