Well, paying farmers to NOT plant crops also contributed to the problem. The idiot who came up with that ‘solution’ should be fed soylent green forever!

If we would stop burning our food in our fuel tanks, some of the food problem would be alleviated.

That's so much bullshiiite I didn't have to read any further.

I'm not going to waste much time on this other than to say that one of the top five problems the American Farmer (I retired from farming quite a while back, so I know what I'm talking about) has faced for more that 60 years is overproduction.

We have had mountains and mountains of surplus meat, food stuffs, you name it, for more than 60 years.

And the revolution to increased food production is still in it's infancy.

This may give you hope: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3000427/posts?page=5#5

Most of the earth is empty today. Make a choice, move to an empty space.

Conservatives idea of paradise = every square inch of the land surface of the planet filled with nothing but people and cattle. Some may love the idea of so many people you can’t take 5 steps without bumping into someone. I hate the thought of it.

Well, you can rest easy, because your fears of planetary overcrowding have no basis in reality. The facts:

1. 71% of the earth's surface is water- no people there.

2. 29% is land. Of that 29%;

3. less than 1% is occupied by humans,

4. 40% is pure wilderness- not occupied,

5. 15% desert - not occupied,

6. 15% near desert- sparsely occupied,

7. 22% agricultural- sparsely occupied.

The earth is in absolutely no danger of becoming full. There is no danger of the planet ever containing so many people that you can't take 5 steps without bumping into someone.

Oh, come on. If all of the world’s people live on only 1% of the land, why doesn’t the Earth get out of balance and roll over?

(there’s a congressman who’d like to know)

I hope the leftists lead by example and stop eating and vote to cut off funding for EBTs so their dependents will stop eating too.

If we stop eating the animals they will continue to reproduce thus causing more competition for their own food sources thus resulting in more animals dying a slow painful death from starvation. By eating them we are saving them from a terrible fate!

'For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills'......Psalm 50:10

The Almighty isn't worried about cattle taking food from people.

Great catch and good observation. It is very easy to see the "days" in which we are living... they are evil.

MARANATHA!

Nope. Makes absolute sense. I was explaining to my wife how liberals want to destroy the energy sector, because that would destroy industry, which is what they want.

What you say is true, they simply want humans to depopulate, and there is only one way THAT is going to happen.

Liberals always think they will be part of the “chosen ones” because their intentions are so pure. They never realize that once they put the machine in motion, they get ground up with all the rest of us.

Milk is necessary, also. Without Vit D, health for all involved is at risk.

Milk is good food but the milk you buy in the store only contains trace amounts of vitamin D until the milk manufacturer fortifies it with more vitamin D. Milk producers fortify milk by adding an oily mixture of vitamins A and D to liquid milk prior to homogenizing.
