The food crisis is worrying, but you know what... it's inevitable, so maybe the earlier it happens, the better. As long as it puts a lid on overpopulation which is the real cause of much of the world's problems.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if everyone was well fed, but the fact that we humans breed like yeast means a catastrophe is coming anyway, maybe it will be smaller if it comes earlier.

Just maybe.

A few things here.


1) People only "breed like yeast" in developing nations.   The more developed and "smart" a nation is the more people decide to not have children.  If the world were developed this likely wouldn't be an issue.  So really it may be something that isn't needed at all as we move foward.

2) It's not like there isn't enough food... the problem is energy costs, transportation and speculation mostly.  We could be supporting way more people.
