I think one interesting (frightening?) note is that in order for the world's population of an estimated 10 billion people by the century's end to be fed, the world will have to produce more food in the next 50 years then in the previous 10,000 combined. We can't even make decent food now, how on earth are we going to do it on that large of a scale?
I'll tell you how, we're going to grow it ourselves. I'm heading out today and planting something. Ok, I'm pulling all the weeds first, but damn it, then I'm planting something!! Who's with me?!?!
I'm planting shit tonight, if the rain stops and I don't get enchanted by the latest batch of beer!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we just need to grow more food because of all the fat kids!
I knew I could count on you IG. And, beer is inspiration and proof the Baby Jesus loves us. It would be the only excuse to not plant.
