In many Pacific and West Indian Islands households do not plant vegetables in their gardens because as soon as they mature their neighbours come and steal them. The same thing occurs in Europe and the U.S. although fruit and live stock are the preferred commodity.
If a farmer cannot protect his crops then he is a fool to grow them.
It is also true that if the farmer’s family grows too big for the farm to feed then some must leave or all must starve. However good the farmer the farm has a finite limit to how much it can produce.
The same is true of our planet. The agricultural revolution of the 1960′s and the 1970′s expanded the production of food world wide but now our numbers have caught up and parts of the world are on the point of starvation.
The Greens and other delicate members of our society will not countenance the production of genetically engineered crops,so unless immediate steps are taken to stop the Third World population explosion they will starve. Those nations who limit their populations to feedable numbers are not morally bound to share our food and starve with them. The Catholic Philippines is short of rice. Let the Pope sell the Vatican and feed them,do not expect the rest of the World to come to the aid of India,China,Africa and the Philippines. Africa needs to import food now,but in the next 40 years it’s population will climb from 800 million to 1.8 billion! We will not starve for their benefit.
Over educated idiots like Tracy McVeigh,(The Guardian Weekly 25-31.1.08) pleads for the rest of the World to take “your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”:a global quest for home. Those huddled masses should not exist.
The Socialist Left World wide will not blame the Third World for the population explosion but why should we restrict our life style if they cannot restrict their numbers.
