News – The world is an odd place. A tight global food situation with record-high grain prices presents the possibility of increasing malnutrition, perhaps famine, in parts of Africa and South Asia. Yet an estimated 1.6 billion adults, about a quarter of the world's 6.7 billion people, are overweight, some of them obese.
I know. Let's have the 1 million or so elitists who understand all this and have it all figured out decide which of the 6 or 7 billion of us have to go.
Any questions?
Ok, then, let's get started. When you hear your name called please head for the nearest disintegration chamber.
Your friendly neighborhood elitist thanks you for your cooperation.
Lets do some math. Saudi Arabia went from 3 million to 27 million in 50 year. That is 4 doublings or one every 12 years.
So if that rate keeps up, it will have 60 million by 2019, 120 million by 2031, 240 million by 2043, 500 million by 2055 and one billion by 2067... Hmmm, I wonder if the Saudis will be able to feed a billion mouths about the time their oil will be running out? Stay tuned this is going to be an interesting 50 years.
Don't see why not. The United States, Canada and Australia exported a total of 515,441,950 metric tons of food in 2004. http://www.fao.org/es/ess/toptrade/trade.asp?di... and all three countries have a lot of vacant land.
