Summary
Long time ago in the ancient times, tribes of Inks and Aztecs strongly believed in the power of Gold. Surprisingly their Gold wasn’t that what glitters but in food, the corn growing in the ground of North America. It shocked every European civilized man and so felt Francisco Pizarro the conquistador, whose admiration was in a real metal. I wonder what the gold is in our times. What is this precious thing we would even kill for? Would we bet for food we need to survive or energy, vital force powering the world system? It is a choice to take and the clock is ticking.

Hey, I enjoyed reading a different perspective. Few criticisms:
Not so sure would I put Vladamir Putin as the poster boy to rescue the world!
Equally, I don’t think the food crisis “attacked” or suddenly appeared, it is a problem that has been more than gradually increasing for decades and shows little signs of abating. Didn’t really understand the last paragraph and grammar etc. throughout could use some work. Feel free to comment on mine!
