问题 One of our main argument is that we in Western countries actually              【M1】______
have a part to play in causing the problems of the Third World. Many Third
World countries are saddle by immense debt burdens, for example. They          【M2】______
lent money at low interest rates in the 1970s, when money flooded into           【M3】______
Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the
Third World. The interest rates have then been risen dramatically. So you         【M4】______
have a situation where a country in many cases can’ t even repay the interest
, let alone the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example
from that I’ ye come across is a country, in West Africa where the consumption    【M5】______
, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if
they’ re imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut         【M6】______
is a major source of protein in this country. So you had people go hungry as       【M7】______
a result of that. The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United
States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk
which we don’t know what to do with. We have enough milk, more milk
than we can cope with, in the West World. And also that milk was trans-          【M8】______
formed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help
feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely  【M9】______

【M6】
