Consumerism holds a gun to our heads, threatening social and economic collapse if we do not buy and waste and scatter ever more resources. Politicians exhort us to produce children to support the retirees for whom they were too short-sighted to provide. The European Union commissions reports it immediately discards and the seas as well as African stomachs get only more empty.

My personal choice is for the three billion world population of my youth.

But you and I both know I’m not going to get it.

THE TRUTH AND SOME MORE

THANKS FOR THIS ARTICLE, I ALSO REMEMBER 50 YEARS A GO, USE TO FISH WITH MY DAD AND ALWAYS BOUGH HOME DINNER. I GREW UP IN A SMALL FISHING TOWN IN NJ SHORE, AND WOULD SURE LIKE TO BE THERE NOW, BUT LIFE GOES ON, ALL I CAN SAY IS I AND MAYBE YOU WHERE LUCKY TO BE BORN AT THE RIGHT TIME TO SEE THIS COUNTRY AT IS BEST, WHERE ARE WE HEADING LOOKS LIKE UNCHARTED WATERS TO ME. WHAT WE MOSTY GET FARMED FISH, AND I FOR ONE ARE SCARED OF THE PROSSES FOOD, AND ARE FINDING IT HARDER AND HARDER TO GET HEALTHY FOOD. I AM 65 AND SO FAR IN GOOD HEALTH BY WATCHING WHAT I EAT, I READ EVERY LABLE AND STILL YOU HAVE SETTLE FOR TOXINS IN THE FOOD, OR YOU WONT EAT. I THINK OUR FOOD SUPPLY IS IS GOING TO BE OUR POPULATION CONTROL.
