so we should stock up on rice, Spam & mac-n-cheese?

Generally when I see a phrase like this one: “At some point, this crisis will affect you and your family. It may not be today, and it may not be tomorrow, but it is going to happen.”

I just turn it off as fear mongering.

#22 The Food Safety Modernization Act could criminalize small farms and household growing.

For more than a hundred years America has demonstrated to the world how to produce more food than can possibly be consumed.

So much food that a lot of it can be burnt to warm homes and power cars, and still have mountains of food left over.

They’ve rejected us, and our ideas.

There’s a price pay for stubborn stupidity.

Let the bastards starve to death.

RE: I just turn it off as fear mongering.

I take this to mean that Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP legislators and Tea Partiers are fear mongering when they warn us that our deficit, debt, pension liabilities, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are unsustainable and will eventually result in our economic collapse like Greece??

Grazing animals are the most efficient ‘solar collectors’ yet invented.

[nuconvert]

so, I’ll take that as a ‘yes’

#9 The price of oil may be the biggest factor on this list. The way that we produce our food is very heavily dependent on oil. The way that we transport our food is very heavily dependent on oil. When you have skyrocketing oil prices, our entire food production system becomes much more expensive. If the price of oil continues to stay high, we are going to see much higher food prices and some forms of food production will no longer make economic sense at all.

#15 The commodity price of corn has also about doubled since last summer.

"Maybe we should stop burning corn in our cars and drill for oil."

Yikes! Shades of Paul Ehrlich and his now de-bunked “Population Bomb”.

You are completely correct.

With the right chemicals, you can grow food in sand. I did it in the Israeli dessert in the 70’s using dripper technology. Not an inch of topsoil to be had.

Desalinization plants can produce fresh water, recycling plants can create fertilizer from solid waste.

There is enough seed to keep the world planting for the next 500 years. There is enough land available in the US and Canada alone to plant crops which could feed the world.

If the UN wanted to, with the help of corporations, There can be 100 desalinization plants built in Africa with enough land and seed to become the worlds breadbasket.

Grazing animals are the most efficient ‘solar collectors’ yet invented.

And tasty, too.

[Brilliant]

It’s not a problem of too little food. It’s a problem of too many people.

[UCANSEE2]

And the world’s oceans will rise 3 feet by 2010.

Yes, but the Earth grew by 3 feet, so no one noticed.

[piasa]

It’s neither. It’s a problem of too little freedom.
