Selfish
Listen to this "Talk of the Nation" guest, and try to find one point at which she expresses a viewpoint that is anything other than selfish. Her whole viewpoint is based on Americans eating what they want (or as much as they want), cheaply, without regard for the effects. Most egregious are her two comments about how the problems of China are not our problems, and the problems of Mexico are not our problems.

I wish the host had challenged her a bit more, and at least, even subtly, pointed out that she was expressing an extremely selfish viewpoint.
The world's problems will never be solved until we start pushing back against selfishness. Imagine the transformation that the world could see if every person was assessed for selfishness, and only the least selfish were allowed to procreate.
