The fact that the population is growing worldwide DOES NOT mean that there is a food shortage. Nobody is disputing that there are more people today than there were a century ago, what you are being asked to provide evidence of is a food shortage.

The ration of feed vs no feed (hungry) is 18-20 to one.

You can not tell me:

1. how large our annual production of wheat corn oats is?

2. how much (percentage) of this crop is used domistically?

3. how much more land can be put into productionu in USA?

4. how much corn, wheat grain is being shifted to ethanal to power your car? in billions of gallons.

If USA agricultural was in full production could we feed every mouth in the world. And with 90,000 souls added every day for how long?

This is the answer to your arguement?

You need to shift thru facts not emotions.
