Best U.S. exports to India
Alcoholics Anonymous, the internet and Coca-Cola -- these were the best American exports to India, the man told me, strongly implying without saying it that my country had had little to offer recently. "Do you know how it is that a country of 1.3 billion is able to manage, with no one dying of hunger?" I thought to myself, people do die of hunger here, I see desperately hungry children in the streets of Delhi every day. I said, "no, why?" Because Indians have healthy vegetarian diets, he told me. "If everyone ate like the Americans, the world would end in five years. There'd be nothing left." I thought about it and had to agree.
