What a Waste

Farmers dump milk into a field in Ciney, Belgium, to protest European Union officials' failure to agree on an aid package for the continent's dairy industry, which is facing falling prices. Approximately 4 million liters of milk were poured during the protests. More details from NPR.

I guess they're making a pretty bold statement here. But it's a terrible waste. And it can't good for the fields. Also sad. Are they hoping to dump a day's supply in order to drive up the price... that's a stretch.

Meanwhile... Kenyan Farmers are eating dying livestock. If they only knew what was going on in Belgium. Nutritious whole milk being fed to the ground while thousands starve in drought-stricken lands.
