About a week ago, there was a headline on a pretty liberal newsite that posed nearly the same question. Who will feed the world?
Now this site is well known to be pretty alinged with animal rights, anti GMO, organic food groups.
Well I responded to the article with the idea that the American farmer will unless all the extremists shut down animal agriculture and limit plant breeding technologies that are increasing production and efficiency of the food production sytsem or regulate the food producers to death.
A few days later, I received this reply: "We could feed all the humans on the planet right now if we were not wasting land, fuel, water, and crops to feed animals for humans to eat. I am not against GMO's but I sure as heck am against subsidizing the meat industry in any way. Meat is not sustainable in any way, and certainly not "organically" or humanely. If anything, meat should be taxed like cigarettes, to try to reclaim some of the inordinate health costs associated with it."
I like to go on these site once in a while in order to judge what the lefties are saying and put out a few basic facts to keep them strait. Its amazing how many people think along the same lines as this person, that I would assume are mostly in these "blue" areas. The sad thing is if they get there way, they will be the first people to get hungry.
