UN conducted a survey on: "Would you please give your honest opinion about shortage of food in the rest of the world?" The survey failed because: In Africa the people didn not know what "food" was. In China they did not know what "opinion" was. In Europe they did not know what "shortage" was. Filipino leaders interviewed didn't know what "honest" meant. France didn't know what "please" was. In America they did not know what "the rest of the world" meant.
