[edit] Discussion

I moved this from the article to here for discussion because this appears to me to be original research. If we need an example we should derive one from her work, not find one on our own. -Will Beback 19:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I told you i found this on the net. Real science uses references whereever they occur to find the truth. Unless of course you are trying to hide the truth. How is Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. 2001. Food Insecurity: When People Live With Hunger and Fear Starvation. The State of Food insecurity in the World 2001. Italy: FAO.orginal research??? it's published on the net! I request some sort of outside review. I think your move was biased.

If you assembled this data on your own, and decided to exclude China on your own, then it is original research. There's nothing wrong with giving an example of a researcher's theory, but we should use one of her examples, not one that we create ourselves. We aren't here to prove or dispove this stheory, simply to describe it. The "truth" is not our aim here. Rather, we are trying to summarize verifiable information without engaging in original research. You are welcome to ask other editors to review. An RfC would be the usual method. -Will Beback 20:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
