Josette Sheeran: Frases en inglés

“I would like you to join with all of humanity to draw a line in the sand and say, "No more. No more are we going to accept this."”

"Ending Hunger Now" TED Talk (July 2011) http://www.ted.com/talks/josette_sheeran_ending_hunger_now.html
Contexto: I believe we're living at a time in human history where it's just simply unacceptable that children wake up and don't know where to find a cup of food. Not only that, transforming hunger is an opportunity, but I think we have to change our mindsets. I am so honored to be here with some of the world's top innovators and thinkers. And I would like you to join with all of humanity to draw a line in the sand and say, "No more. No more are we going to accept this." And we want to tell our grandchildren that there was a terrible time in history where up to a third of the children had brains and bodies that were stunted, but that exists no more.

“With climate change and health crises rightfully receiving international attention, the time has come to focus on hunger as a top priority.”

The Lancet Volume 371, Issue 9608, Pages 180 - 181, (19 January 2008) http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2807%2961870-4/fulltext
Contexto: With climate change and health crises rightfully receiving international attention, the time has come to focus on hunger as a top priority. WHO regards hunger and malnutrition as the gravest threat to public health, and climate change threatens to further destabilise already fragile food-production systems.

“I am in the hunger business; it is what we do exclusively, 24/7, and I am sorry to tell you that business is booming.”
