Building a Modern State

More than half of Afghanistan's children are physically and mentally stunted because of malnutrition; and this despite the many benefits of the late Crusade against Terror. A third of all citizens don't always know where their next meal is coming from, and the majority cannot afford the minimum diet necessary to remain healthy. According to Britain's leading liberal newspaper, "international studies show that children who are properly fed can earn between a third and a half more as adults than those who did not get a proper diet"; although of course the statistical value of individual junior economic units can be deceptive when considered against the petroleum-fuelled Big Picture. Still, we who are lucky enough to reside in Food Bank Britain can take comfort in the knowledge that this magnificent vista, with all its efficiency savings and incentives for hard-working families, constitutes our own Head Boy's idea of "mission accomplished".
