Thread Name: BS: food
Subject: RE: BS: food
I have been posting here off & on for 7 years that, as Kendall and his prof said, population is the 'keystone' problem.

If you have perfect distribution of food, new developments in growth technology for grains, reduction of pollution, etc...etc...you only put off the problem awhile...This planet will not support 27 trillion people, and I don't want to be around when we discover what the absolute limits are!

The problem 'could' be theoretically solved by 'open season' on Long Pig, but civilization would not be a lot of fun....

The only reasonable solutions are not gonna be very popular...(implant timed release contraceptives randomly in all little girls at age 11?? allowing only ½ of them to be fertile??) right! Wanta be the politican to suggest that?

65 million years of evolution have designed us to reproduce...it's gonna be VERY hard to overcome that with reason and planning..
