Clean water has been in short supply in Europe for a long time, not here. Food is in short supply but obesity is a leading health problem. I’m not buying the short food supply statement. Certain minerals; true enough but they were rare before we found commercial uses for them.

Food is in short supply
***In many countries

but obesity is a leading health problem.
***here in the USA.

I’m not buying the short food supply statement.
***As long as there are “save the chilrun” commercials on TV where you can feed a child for 49cents a day, I’m buying it.

Certain minerals; true enough but they were rare before we found commercial uses for them.
***Well put. But part of the problem of accessing certain minerals is that it takes a lot of energy to get at them. By lowering the cost drastically for that energy, the problem is reduced.
