What PizzaHot has to do with the war on Iraq? Discover it?

I think the article "Food for Thought" by Daniel Stone in his interview with a former United Nations political affairs officer: Chris Fair reflects how the Americans see others. In my opinion food reflects the cultural aspect of the nations, but it is not a main factor that determines the inter-relationships between nations. I think there are other important factors that we should consider. Some rich countries use the food as a mean to control poor country's policy.

I totally agree if food is replaced by oil.

Can America's strained relationships with the Axis of Evil—Iran, Iraq and, until recently, North Korea—be explained by what we eat?

The examples he mentioned are misleading. The food for oil was forced by UN in order to help the suffering Iraqis. In contrast, the Iraqis suffer because of the UN sanction!!
